Article by VG about it: http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=110424

There won't be any information from the Palace during the birth - after the birth. When a child is born - it will be reported on the webpage.

Mediehåndtering ved H.K.H. Kronprinsessens opphold på Rikshospitalet

Det Kongelige Hoff har informasjonsansvaret ved Hennes Kongelige Høyhet Kronprinsessens opphold på Rikshospitalet, og vil forestå mediehåndteringen. Sykehuset bistår med den praktiske tilretteleggingen av mediehåndteringen, men henviser alle spørsmål som kan knyttes til fødselen til Det Kongelige Hoff.

Det vil bli satt av et eget område på Rikshospitalet for pressen i sykehusets hovedvestibyle. Under fødselen vil det ikke bli gitt noe informasjon fra Hoffets side.

Så raskt som mulig etter Kronprinsessens nedkomst, varsles den nærmeste familie, Stortingets President og Statsminister, om at det er født en arving til Kronen. Deretter varsles Høyesterettsjustitiarius, Forsvaret og Kongelige i Europa.

Når Deres Majesteter Kongen og Dronningen, Stortingets President, Statsminister og Hennes Kongelige Høyhet Kronprinsessens nærmeste familie er varslet, sendes det ut en offisiell kunngjøring fra Det Kongelige Hoff på Kongehusets hjemmeside www.kongehuset.no

Happy to have the pregnancy over with but not too sure about being happy about the labor!

Finally the baby will arrive!

Well, if the last one took 4 hrs, this labor should be half over since it's 10am Norway time.

How the media will be handled while HRH the Crown Princess stays at the National Hospital.

The Royal Court has the responsibility of information during HRH the Crown Princess' stay at the national hospital and will take care of the Media. The hospital will help with the practical arrangements, but all questions about the birth are directed to the royal court.

The press will get an area of their own in the lobby. No information will be given from the court during the birth.

As quickly as possible after the baby is born, the closest family, President of the Storting and the Prime Minister will be told. After that the Supreme justice, the Military and royals in Europe.

When TM the King and Queen, the presiden of the Storting, the PM and HRH the Crown Princess' closest family have been told, an official statement will be sent out from The Royal Court at the Palace's home page. www.kongehuset.no

hippiesheep · #15 12-03-2005, 04:45 AM

It's a good thing that tomorrow is saturday and I don't have to get up early :)

BeccaLynn07 · #16 12-03-2005, 04:48 AM

Isn't it past 10:30 in Norway? I'm curious to hear what the extra news transmission on TV2 had to say.

Nothing new. Mette-Marit is in the hospital. We'll be told after something has happened, and Crown Prince Haakon will call a press conference to give his view on it all.

purple_platinum · #18 12-03-2005, 04:52 AM

i hope it will be a quick one... is Haakon the only one accompanying MM in the hospital? no MM's mother?

Why would her mother accompany them? If she's in that region, I expect she's rather spending time with Ingrid and Marius.

Thanks for the information, norwegianne.
