Great pictures everybody. Maud Angelica has gotten more adorable since we last saw pictures of her at her birth.

One thing though, I can't say that I cared too much for the hats worn to such a pretty baby's baptism. Martha Louise's hat reminded me of a pizza from one of the first pictures. And Mette-Marit's hat looked like an over-sized headband.

Norway's Royal Family Celebrates Maud's Christening

2 JULY 2003
She holds no royal title, but two-month-old Maud Angelica seemed every bit the little princess as her grandfather, King Harald, cradled his only grandchild during her christening ceremony on Wednesday.

The first-born of Princess Martha Louise and her husband of more than a year, Ari Behn, was surrounded by more than 200 friends and family members – including her uncle and godfather, Crown Prince Haakon and his wife Princess Mette-Marit – as she was baptised at the chapel of the royal palace in Oslo.

In addition to the crown prince, Maud's other godparents included two of Ari's best friends, actor Kaare Conradi and Labour party politician Trond Giske, as well as his sister, Anja Sabrina Bjoershol, and Martha Louise's close confidente Marianne Ulrichsen.

The event was held on a day which holds special meaning for Norway's royal family – July 2, which would have been the 100th birthday of King Olav V, little Maud Angelica's great-grandfather.

What a great family picture of Martha Louise, Ari and Maud, Mandy. Thanks for sharing it. They look like a very happy and beautiful family.

Any idea whether they refer to her by her full name Maud Angelica or maybe just Maud or just Anjelica? ... Although Maud Anjelica flows so well and nicely together, calling her by her full name isn't so bad. Even if it is a mouthful! :P

Hello Alexandria,
You're welcome for the picture! It's one of my favourite. :flower: I found it in www.aftenposten.no.

I really don't know what Märtha Louise and Ari Behn call Maud Angelica in the privacy of their home. As far as I know neither one has talked to the press in ages.

It took forever for the christening to arrive! And the beautiful pictures! :)

I hope it won't take another two months before we see them again. :(
