Here is the Selection criteria
Potential candidates for The Forum of Young Global Leaders
are 40 years of age or younger at the time of nomination (to be eligible for the 2007 nomination process, the candidates must have been born on or after 1 January 1967);
have a recognized record of extraordinary achievement and substantial leadership experience. Typically, the candidate would have 5-15 years of outstanding professional work experience and a clear indication of playing a substantial leadership role for the rest of his or her career;
have demonstrated a commitment to serve society at large through exceptional contributions;
are ready to invest time and energy in the organization’s purpose and activities.
Maybe Mary hasn't been a princess long enough to be a member for that. Mathilde has been married for over six years, and has worked extensively internationally for charities, and even led a UNICEF mission to Niger. Mabel was recognized for her professional work.
Frederik was probably chosen for his leadership, and Haakon is a UN Goodwill Ambassador, as well as Crown Prince. Victoria has worked with the UN and the Swedish Embassy in Washington, DC.
Also, I learned in reading W-A's profile that he had run the New York Marathon! I didn't know that- good for him :smiles:
