Märtha Louise as an author
Princess cashes in on title to sell her children's book
Norway's Princess Martha Louise will be using her royal title for all its worth this month, when she sets off on an 11-day tour of the US to sell a children's book she's written. Such commercial exploitation is controversial at home in Norway. http://www.royalarchive.com/index.ph...=1360&Itemid=2

Having read the book, in Norwegian, I have to say that it's the kind of book that might not have sold quite as solid as it has done, had it not been written by a princess, and published before the centennial. Because other than that, it doesn't really stand out- writingwise.
It's not a bad children's book, per se, but Bomann-Larsen's children's book around the same theme (the Royal family's arrival in 1905 and skiing), is funnier and a better read. That is, of course, only my opinion.

The weather's been lousy here in New York. Its been raining nonstop since last night. I wanted to go to the Scandavian House today but its just too yucky out and I have bronchitis.
The signing looks like its a success - bad weather notwithstanding. LaMinka, how did it go?

Such commercial exploitation is controversial at home in Norway. ------- Heh, I like how true this is. "Using her royal title for all its worth"...kinda' brings Sarah Ferguson to mind. :P Both very nice people, but relying on their titles to sell stuff. Didn't Fergie write books under "HRH the Duchess of York"?

I am very sad right now. I have been watching Fox and Friends since 4 AM PDT this morning (and I watched the entire three hour show yesterday morning) hoping to see Martha Louise and so far I haven't seen anything. It's 6:38 AM right now. I don't think they will have her on after all. It's really sad, as I was really, really looking forward to this.

I wonder where Nancy Bartley dug up this fact "When she fell in love and married a commoner deemed unsuitable by her father."  Harald never disapproved of Ari Behn and even if he did, he never publicly hinted at it.
