Henri M. said:According to the commentator on TV it was a Norwegian lullaby which Crown Princess Märtha used to sing for her children.
My translation (not very litteral, Norwegian/German/Dutch have lot in common, but it gives the core essence)
the first song I ever heard
was what my mother sang near the cradle
her gentle words found their way to my heart
and were able to stop my tears
her words did comfort me
made me silent and willing to sleep
they showed a wonderful path
from our little house
I can still see that path
when I close my eyes
an angel stands there, gentle smile,
as only my mother could smile
and when I'm tired
I go to sleep and lay down my body
I softly hear from my mother's grave
that song, that makes all fine
Something like that. Anyway, the King was emotioned (and his sisters as well).
Yes, you are right. She wore it for the 60th Birthday Celebrations of the parents in 1997 and for a State Visit in 2000.Maycastle said:Princess Martha looked stunning in her gown. I think that this one was worn before?
Yes, it is the same. Princess Astrid also wore the same dress as on her birthday.JessRulz said:Sonja's outfit looks familiar, like the one she wore to Astrid's birthday a few weeks ago. Is it the same?

Let's hope she'll pull out a new dress on the GrandBall on Saturday!
Larzen said:Mette-Marits dress is new, atleast it has not been used in a oublic before, Märtha Louises dress is 10 years old, from the 60th birthday of her parents in 1997 and Princess Astrid and Queen Sonja wore the dresses from Princess Astrids birthday last week
