[ROYAL NORWAY]

Thanks iceflower!

Well, 86 years of age, Parkinson's disease, several bone fractures over the years due to osteoporosis. - But here she is, still on her duties (yes, quite amazing).

[Somebody]

I wasn't aware of her Parkinson's disease. Has that been known for a long time?

[ROYAL NORWAY]

She said it herself in a television-interview some years ago (around her 80th birthday, I think).
And although she still has pretty quick movements in her body, one can clearly see the tremors in the Princess' arms/hands and sometimes her jaw (which seems to vary, probably due to the medications).

You can see it from 0:20 in this 2017-video (link). - BTW, be aware that this is far from her worst day.

And sometimes she's in such pain, due to all the bone-fractures in her back, that she has to wear a special corset during Royal-events: Photo (link).

According to Hein Bruins and also Carl Christian Ferner's FB (Calle Ferner) Carl Christian Ferner and his wife Anna Stina, née Slattum had a daughter. Probably around his birthday (October 22nd) in 2018.
This baby is the third granddaughter and the sixth grandchild for Princess Astrid mrs. Ferner.
