But Martha Louise will attend and her girls too?
Martha Louise and her daughters are on the guest list.

Yes, the official guest list says she'll go and it also says med bar, which mean "with children". Prince Christian will be surrounded by a lot of young ladies xDBut Martha Louise will attend and her girls too?
As they have both said in interviews, Märtha and CP Haakon (and CP MM, after she came into the family) have always been ''very close'' and ''see each quite other a lot'' and therefore also their children.
I find all this talk about Doña Letizia's absence exaggerated. Crown Princess Victoria will be alone. Don Felipe will be alone. Queen Beatrix and Queen Sonja were alone at Victoria's confirmation. It seems not usance to attend as a couple.
Yes, that is Prince Carl Bernadotte.Princess Astrid on May 9th, 1948:
...and what I believe (although I am not so familiar with his younger look) is Prince Carl Bernadotte (Prince in the Belgian nobility and former Prince of Sweden, and Astrid's maternal uncle). - Which is incorrectly referred to as ''Prince Bertil Bernadotte'' in one of the photos in the gallery above.
IA looks fantastic in her bunad! I'm looking forward into seeing her wearing it on the day.
Read about that position here (English Wikipedia article-link).[...] The Princess has received her confirmation instruction at the Asker Church congregation under the direction of Provost Tor Øystein Våland and Vicar Karoline Astrup. The confirmation service in the Palace Chapel will be led by the Bishop of Oslo, Kari Veiteberg, and the Praeses of the Norwegian Bishops’ Conference, Bishop Helga Haugland Byfuglien. [...]
Thanks!Yes, that is Prince Carl Bernadotte.
I've written quite a lot about bunads in posts 38, 45, 49, 52 and 85! But will write more about it for you after the confirmation (perhaps tomorrow).I am curious and wonder if anyone on the forum can explain why the Princess Ingrid Alexandra is being confirmed in a bunad while her father, grandfather and great aunts were not? The bunad and the documentary of its making are stunning by the way!
[...] Today, the Norwegian government announced their gift to their Princess. Norway’s government’s confirmation gift to Princess Ingrid Alexandra is to rename Hengsåsen nature reserve at Bygdøy in Oslo to “Prinsesseåsen” nature reserve. “Prinsesseåsen” can be directly translated to “The Princess’s hill”.
The Princess is also to receive in the gift the oil painting “My moment with Lilac”, painted by the Norwegian artist Tyra Tingleff. Tingleff lives and works in Berlin, is educated at the art academies in Bergen, Copenhagen and London, and has exhibited in galleries in Berlin, London, New York, Venice and Basel. [...]
The court has now confirmed to NTB (The Norwegian News Agency) that the confirmation will take place in the autumn 2019, no more information was given.
BTW: You can read whom her foreign godparents are (who will hopefully take the time to attend), a bit about the confirmations of CP Haakon and Märtha - and what TV2's serous/reliable Royal Expert, Kjell Arne Totland, has said about next year's plans here.
It seems as if Confirmation is a very important milestone in Norway. Seeing photos of (what I imagine was her first) gala dress meant it was marked in an extremely memorable way.
Could someone tell me if that is, in fact, the way it is done in Norway as a whole or merely for the royal family?
wow, they really announced that with a lot of anticipation! i wonder who the godparents for the confirmation will be - is it likely the same as the christening ones?
Very beautiful ceremony.
I'm slightly surprised that Crown Princess Victoria doesn't wear a national dress today. She obviously didn't catch spirit of this event.
Crown Princess Mary proved once more that she is very smart dresser.
It's tough day for king Felipe. Perhaps, he is the only one who absolutely doesn't understand Norwegian language.
