The Swedish attendance makes sense considering Princess Ragnhild was half Swedish.....

That makes senbse Viv,I didn't really expect too many royal guests at the funeral of Princess Ragnhild as she was more or less the Royal recluse and really only attended rare events in Norway.

From what I remember she was very much against M-M at the time of her engagement...

In 2004 she said something to the effect that the CP Haakon and Princess Märtha Louise were ill advised regarding their choice of spouses. It made headlines at the time and Mr. Lorentzen tried to gag the media, but too late, the cat was out of the bag!

CP Mette-Marit rose above it yesterday and curtsied to the coffin!
