Doesn't the Marie and Maria go back to the great empress Maria Theresa whom named almost all her daughters Maria?

Actually, the name Marie or Maria is in honor of the Blessed Virgin of Catholicism- Jesus' mother Mary. In French speaking Catholic countries children are generally given the name Marie, while in German speaking countries it's Maria. This is why you see all the boys running around with "Marie" as one of their middle names- to honor Mary.

They arrived in the same car as the Queen, Marie Astrid hugged Haakon and Mette-Marit before going to the tribune, they said on TV they were there as guests of the King.

Here are some pictures, not very good

For this family, any pics are decent. They hardly ever get photographed.

Yeah. The Archduke and Archduchess are just as elusive Max and Angela of Liechtenstein.

Marie Astrid is one of my favorite princesses! She's such a classy lady and really beautiful.

I enjoyed your pictures. I live in Canada and I don't get the chance to read about the Habsburg. I agree with you, Marie-Astrid is a beautiful person and there is something sane and sound about this family.

Not really since the whole family is sort of out of the limelight.

Well. even Marie-Astrid is not more as young as she used to be. Yes, she is over 50 years now, too. She has always been one of favourities.

Here a couple of pictures of her very young days. I don't know the photographer, but in the book, where the pics are from, it says that the pictures are taken of Photo Baron v. Falz-Fein, Quick-Tourist-Office and Dita Herein.

I don't know why the pictures are so big. I have tried to make them smaller, but on this site they don't became smaller. The original picture on my computer is only a quarter of this pic here!
