More from Oslo...


The gala concert for King Harald was emceed by his daughter Princess Märtha Louise and included a variety of musical and dancing performances, including singing, instrumental, classical and modern, ballet and folk. Princess Märtha Louise was emotional when wishing her father a happy birthday and reciprocal feelings were obvious in the king, who is apparently a shy man, and Queen Sonia also. Balloons were dropped on the audience at the end of the happy concert in true birthday style and Mary and Victoria had a lot fun playing with them (thanks cph and Bendedikte). Much more to come, we will post as it comes...



A few more photos: Princess Märtha Louise and her husband Ari Behn, Princess Mabel and Prince Friso (Netherlands), Princess Laurentien and Prince Constantijn (Netherlands) , Princess Anne and Earl of Wessex (Britain).

*See Madeleine Glindorf's website for great pics of the arrivals at the Town Hall in Oslo. Thank's Madeleine and keep warm! Probably a bit hard to do though...
DR.dk video clip (0:20 - but if you let it run you will see a story on the place where Alexandra and Martin will marry in week's time)
