Princess M\u00e4rtha Louise, eldest child of Kong Harold\u00a0V og Dronning Sonja<\/strong> (King Harold\u00a0 V and Queen Sonja)was born in 1971, which means that she has succession rights to the throne.\u00a0 However, even though her brother Haakon is younger than her, he comes first in the line of succession.\u00a0 If M\u00e4rtha Louise had been born prior to 1971, like her aunts, Kong Harold’s s\u00f8strer <\/strong>(sisters) for example, she would not have succession rights (Salic Law had previously excluded females from these rights).\u00a0 In fact, Crown Prince Haakon’s children come before M\u00e4rtha Louise in line to the throne.\u00a0 However, in 1990, this arrangement changed once again, stating that the eldest child born after 1990, regardless of gender, would be first in line to the throne.\u00a0 So, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, daughter of Crown Prince Haakon and his wife, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, will be placed before her younger brother in line to the throne.\u00a0 I just wanted to give a little background about M\u00e4rtha Louise’s place in the Royal family.<\/p>\n

While M\u00e4rtha Louise is 4th in line to the throne, she has actually taken steps to partially disconnect herself with her royal title.\u00a0 As a successful businesswoman, she felt that it would be beneficial for her to remove her style of Her Royal Highness (HRH).\u00a0 Kong Harold (with M\u00e4rtha Louise’s consent) removed the title in 2002.\u00a0 She still retains the title Royal Princess and performs royal duties.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 M\u00e4rtha Louise was educated in Oslo and Maastricht, Netherlands to become a certified physiotherapist.\u00a0 She is very interested in holistic medicine.\u00a0 However, she has not practices her profession, and has instead devoted much of her time to establish a commercial entertainment business based on her fascination with fairytales, folklore, and music.\u00a0 She recites folk tales and sings with well known Norwegian choirs.\u00a0 She has also authored several books about fairytales, including Why Kings and Queens Don’t Wear Crowns <\/span>(2004, her first children’s book).\u00a0 In 2007, Princess M\u00e4rtha Louise edited a book called Prinsesse M\u00e4rtha Louises eventyrlige verden, Eventyr fra jordens hjerte, Rodinia <\/span>(Princess M\u00e4rtha-Louise’s adventurous world, adventures from the heart of the earth, Rodinia), a compilation of 67 fairytales from 50 countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2007, M\u00e4rtha Louise and\u00a0her business partner, Elisabeth Samn\u00f8y, established a private school in Oslo called Astarte Education.\u00a0 The school is a 3-year program\u00a0for students interested in techniques of healing and reading.\u00a0 It even promises to teach students to communicate with angels, something Princess M\u00e4rtha Louise, claims to be able to do herself.\u00a0 She is quite an interesting, successful\u00a0individual, involved in\u00a0many different activities and organizations.\u00a0 I think it’s great to hear\u00a0about members of royal families who are so motivated and have so much more going on than just their status\u00a0as part of a royal\u00a0family.\u00a0 I encourage you to get a hold of a copy of one of her books.\u00a0 I really liked Why Kings and\u00a0Queens Don’t Wear Crowns.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
