The Norwegian tax lists for 2004 are searchable on the internet:

dont know weather this should be posted here ???
I sure I read an interview or just an article in Hello magazine a few years ago about Princess Astrid who was talking about Mette marit and her marrage to Prince Haakon, saying that
it wasnt right etc ,that it was good for norway etc does any one remeber this???


 
I don't think Astrid ever has done an interview to that effect - Ragnhild on the other hand did a rather famous interview on television a few years back saying something to that effect.
 
sorry I think it was Ragnhild come to think of it thanks for putting me straight

Alexander and Margrèts wedding: (they are wearing bunads)

Thank you for this photo :heart: Mr. Alexander Ferner is a very goodlooking man, but unfortunately there are few photos of him or his very beautiful Icelandic wife. But here is a page with a few photos of him, and probably some interesting reading for you: District 5950 - GSE 2003 - May 4
He used to be a Rotary President:

And here's a photo from school days: klasse 1972/73 - 1977/78

I don't know much about him, as all Ferner members stay low when it comes to public attention. But I know he runs a limousine company that provides personal drivers for VIP's. You know, black cars, black suits...

And CC runs ~ ~ Ferner Jacobsen ~ ~

I'm not sure what the sisters do.

Here a picture of him from a Rotary event (Alexander in the middle):

Thanks for providing all the pictures.

This is interesting, as Princesse Astrid's son Alexander married his Margrét in Holmenkollen Chapel in July the very same year.

Holmenkollen Chapel, a chapel in Oslo near the Holmenkollen ski resort, owned by Ris congregation. The original chapel was a timber church, designed by Holger Sinding-Larsen, and was designed with clear references to the medieval stave churches. Completed in 1903, inaugurated as the first chapel in 1913. It burned to the ground in 1992. A new chapel was built based on the original drawings, but with some minor changes (architect Arne Sødal), inaugurated 3. March 1996. This fast rebuilding was made possible, thanks to the fundraising which the Princess Astrid Mrs Ferner was in the lead, and with contributions from the Municipality of Oslo.

A Norwegian news article about Benedikte Ferner and the designer handbag collections in her store (and a nice photo of her): Ville vesker
 
As you might have understood, the Ferner family is my favorite part of the Norwegian royal family. I now wonder if anyone can confirm/deny rumours I have heard on the streets that Mr Alexander Ferner is getting divorced? I am insanely curious if this is true!
 
:previous: Did anything ever come of that? Are he and Margret still married, or does it seem to have been a false rumor?
 
I think it was just a rumour as I haven't been able to find anything about it. But I am not sure if it would reach the news? They aren't royal, so it's hard to find anything about the children of Astrid and Johan Martin. I hope it was a rumour because I don't want to think he is causing anyone a heartbreak :wub:
