Exactly! Marius often joins his mother and step father to Family events (like the Coronation Celebrations last year).
It was clear right from the beginning that Marius has been accepted by the Royal Couple. He has always been integrated into Royal "Events". He was posing and playing with Queen Sonja already on the first Christmaspictures (in 2001 I think) and he's always pictures with the Royal Family on all Christmasshoot(just as an example)...They wouldn't so so if they didn't accept Marius as a member of their Family.

Good news for Her Majesty and Wartenberg7. I need never disturb you again with a post that you find offensive. I have just seen the new Royal Website and it is everything that I wanted to see done. I no longer have an ax to grind and all of you can rest easy that you will not be subjected to my "offensive" posts. I even emailed the Crown couple to let them know how much I appreciate the new format. And I agree that all of the King and Queen's grandchildren should be recognized in an equal manner. If things had been different, Martha would be the Crown Princess and not her younger brother.

I´d prefer German TV to broadcast on Friday the 23th instead of Wednesday. But I know this Lady Karen Webb will have difficulties to know the names of the guests (and is not too interested in it either) so she might be relieved to have to do her job only on Wednesday. Wonder whether she learned what´s the difference between Mette-Marit and Märtha-Louise....
Well, I wish all the lucky guys who can recieve TV2 on Friday that they can enjoy themselves.

It's a pretty impressive list I must say! I'm disappointed Prince Guillaume of Luxumbourg isn't going but maybe he'd feel out of place as there's no one else really his age.

NRK Nett-TV - hastighetsmÃ¥ling

It has started, only Marius in church, the rest of the grandchildren will probably show up in the park for the statue unveiling later today, but it is very cold in Oslo right now, -10 Celcius, so we will see

And young children at the royal kids age don't find church too amusing in the long run

Thanks for the link though, now I can watch it at work!

I like mette marit but why isn't she wearing a hat. The head band does not count to me. The queen and Martha are, I think she would have looked better and perhaps more formal for church .

**Zonk** · #**151** 02-21-2007, 07:22 AM

The Queen looks absolutely lovely! I agree with Mette Marit...as soon as I saw the pics I was like...oh goodness..the headband is back. And what is Martha Louise wearing..is she going to a night club with that blazer?

If you look at the rest of the audience - hardly anybody wears a hat. It's more abnormal to wear a hat in church than not, actually. At least in Norway.

Marius' placement in church was nothing short of brilliant. Seated behind the King, so that the television cameras don't catch him, it allows for a bit of boredom.

I´ve recorded the whole Church Service from ZDF. If there is an interest, I´d upload the whole thing or a longer summary of about 15 min on yousendit or Filefront etc.. If not, I´d delete it.
Probably NRK has it online too...but mine would be without buffering and would be on your hard disc.
IMO the church service was ok...sometimes I thought, I´d be at a Spanish Royal wedding...so many pictures of the church

For me the clips, they have broadcasted to portray Harald and the family have been much more interesting and so I´ve put them on Youtube:
