[Stefanie]

Anything known whether she celebrates her 40th birthday with a big party and foreign (royal) guests?

Than she doesn't attend to this program, what the royalhouse wrote...

24.09.2011
Dinner
Their Majesties King and Queen are hosting a private dinner at the Royal Palace on the occasion of Princess Martha Louise's 40th birthday 22 September (19:00).

 

[Her_Majesty]

Nothing has been announced by the court so far, so I guess there'll be a private party.

 

[Marengo]

From the Netherlands Prince Constantijn and Princess Laurentien will be attending, as well as Princess Irene and family.

From Luxembourg: Hereditairy Grand Duke Guillaume.

If this trip was longer planned, that ML birthdayparty, than why was written on royalhouse website, that she will attend to this dinner?

I know what will happen: The tabloids will make a rift between MM and ML out of it... sigh...
And there´ll be no one interested in why the CPrincess is absent...!

According to the news, Mette Marit is in India.

Here is a birthday interview (link from one of the message boards)

I would be very curious to know what is said as I can't speak Norwegian.

No one fron Denmark or Sweden?

King Carl Gustaf and Carl Philip were yesterday at Mantorp Park, the king giving trophys and attending the finals of STCC and Carl Philip racing at the Porsche Carrera Cup.
The son of princess Christina, Oscar Magnuson, married yesterday Emma Ledent in France. Maybe queen Silvia, Victoria and Daniel attended the wedding. It was a very small wedding, I don´t know if we will have photos at all.

Lovely to see Sophie and Edward.

I am unable to watch the video of guests arriving...I am guessing it's because you cannot watch the video outside of the country of production?

Lovely to see Sophie and Edward.

It was nice to see them. This may be slightly off topic but didn't Prince Edward date Princess Martha-Louise for a while?

Thanks for sharing. Imo that's not a very flattering hairdo on Märtha Louise. I don't like her dress at all either. Well, but then it's a very Märtha-ish look and it's nice to see pictures of the birthday celebrations.

 

[Molly2101]

That was just a rumour....

Was it? I always knew it had floated around but was never sure if it was true.

Thanks for more image links.

I've always found Martha Louise naturally beautiful..she has an interesting sense of style. I'm not sure what to make of the hair and gown, but she looks lovely and radiant in spite of it all. I'm not crazy about the look but I like it.
It was nice to see some foreign royals at the celebration.

The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Royal Fashion Awards: Märtha Louise's 40th Birthday

My best dressed was Sophie.She looked amazing in that color!

The worst was Astrid of Norway.(Of course!)

As for Martha,I like the color but not the dress itself.The botton half is odd looking.
