I don't know if there was a real boykott
, but maybe some people were not content because Sonja was the first commoner to become a Crownprincess and then a Queen...

Ahout the deathcase: On the special
weddingpage of Angelfire it is written:
The death of HRH the Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, a friend of King Olav V and above all the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet forces would sadly reduce the celebrations even if the happiness of the Crown Prince and Miss Haraldsen or indeed the one of the Norwegian people were not affected.
When you go on reading it is written that the morning before the wedding the death of Duchess Mariana was announced and the press asked King Olav if the wedding will be canceled, since he and the Duchess were very close (
HRH Princess Marina had been whispered as a possible second wife of King Olav, after the deaths of both their consorts).
