I think Astrid is the first modern Norwegian royal (maybe ever?) to reach the milestone.

I think Astrid is the first modern Norwegian royal (maybe ever?) to reach the milestone.

Yes. Her father lived to the age of 87 and her paternal grandfather to 85.

Princess Astrid, Mrs. Ferner turns 90 today.

Princess Astrid, Mrs. Ferner continues to represent His Majesty the King and the Royal House. She undertakes several official engagements each year, chairs the board of Crown Princess Märtha's Memorial Fund and has twelve patronages with which she maintains contact. Through her work Princess Astrid has placed special importance on caring for the weak in society and on including those who are a little different.

The Princess greatly enjoys sports and outdoor life, and together with His Majesty faithfully attends Holmenkollen and other major sporting events. When Princess Astrid turned 70 years old she was granted an honorary pension from the government.

Princess Astrid married Johan Martin Ferner (1927-2015) in 1961. The couple had five children, and Princess Astrid has seven grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I don't think the portraits are exactly new, since Astrid can be seen in the same dress with her dog at post #147 from last June, but if they are technically released today, maybe.

How much she looked like Harald when she was young! (They still have a resemblance but not quite that strong.)
