    Nice to see the RF in church together. I just read that Mr Ari Behn has taken his own life. What a horrible News to get On Christmas. May God give strength to the children to process this. My prayers are with them.

    Quelle grande tristesse.. De tout cœur avec les filles d'Ari Behn.. Je trouve quand même mal venu de voir le petit ami de la princesse Martha Louise à l'église... La présence seule de Martha Louise aurait suffi ; ce n'est que mon avis !

      What doesn't look good? How cruel to say, like really? It doesn't matter the boyfriend is with them he is a part of her and her childrens' lives, seeing him is nothing new. They should be together in this very sad time for them. Stop hating on him. How about you think about Ari, their family and how mental health is still something the world needs to work on. - Capt.

      What doesn't look good is people who try to create something out of nothing. Ari meet Durek and they got a long as Ari said I like him a lot. Ari talked with a lot of warmth about ML and D and wished them all the love and happiness in the world. Ari got a new girlfriend himself in 2017, long before ML. They had a great friendship after the divorce and spent birthdays, Christmas and other occasions together. Ari was invited to spent Chrustmas with the King, Queen, ML and his kids. Don't know if he did. So please don't try to make a mountain out of a molehill. Have some self respect. At least have some respect for his kids and his family. Durek shared a great photo of him and Ari in October on Instagram maybe you should look at it and reflect over your comment.

    A sad day for the royal family, that the beloved father to the King's grandchildren has passed away.
    They didn't probably not received the sad message before after the early Christmas service.

    Le compagnon de leur fille est présent
    Parce qu ils aiment leur fille et ils sont surtout tolérants.
    Dans la société aujourd'hui, il y a un manque de tolérance.
    Cela entraîne de l agressivité et de la violence.
    Je pense que si l ex époux de la princesse est absent,c est de son plein gré.
    Il a accordé un interview signalant qu il ne verrait aucun inconvénient la présence du compagnon de son ex épouse
    avec ses filles est ses beaux parents

    I think it is inappropriate to comment on the fashion of the Norwegian royal family in the context of the death of the former king's son-in-law. Loneliness is the most painful through Christmas. Poor Ari Behn, he was quickly replaced. He certainly suffered that he could not be on Christmas with his daughters. I am younger than Martha Louise, but unlike her, I want to keep my marriage promises - to be together in good and bad times, not to run away from problems in marriage.

      Girlriends do not replace family or children. I meant it in general: did something go wrong in marriage? - Let's break up! As a teacher I see daily how divorce badly affects children. I hate the bullshit the most: "we broke up, but we'll work together on parenting ..." and similar stupid things. How parenting is it when you don't see Mom and Father every day at dinner?

      Every marriage is different and we are all not the same. We will never know what happened in there marriage. For them staying together was just not an option. I did read in an article earlier in the month that he was planning to spend christmas with his former wife and children and still added that the princess'boyfriend was welcome to join them
      At the end we will not know what really happened
      For know we think of his family especially his 3 girls

      Anon 1:26. Still commenting on things you don’t know. You have no idea of their co-parenting relationship. Or what went wrong in their relationship. Maybe the girls spent Christmas Eve with him or were going there after church.

      It is acceptable to date and find live again after a divorce, if it is done with tact. But to date someone who writes on internet about his sexlife ... very explicit too, that us not okay! How painful for the princess, her kids and parents... it is just horrible. What kind of person does something like that?!

      Dear Dorothea, Every time I see Durek, I cringe, for the reasons you mention. By his actions, he has exposed the private life of his partner whom he should cherish and respect. His behaviour is incomprehensible, yet there he is with the royal family in a Christmas service, all this is beyond me.

    @11:58 - Things happen; life goes on. It usually takes two to cause a divorce. Both ML and Ari had other love interests. And why not comment on fashion - the NRF are public figures; and while we are shocked at Ari's suicide, we are not in mourning. I feel most sorry for his daughters. *Rose*

    How can a shaman (Mr. Verrett) attend a Christian church? After all, this is directly contrary to the Christian religion. Is it just a social event for them? Princess M. Louise has a odd choice of partner. But at the person who claims to communicate with angels, je to asi o.k. I am fine with people of different faiths even without religion, but I think they should not use the church for their public presentation.

      Norway is one of the most secular countries in the world, so no one cares whether they (M-L and boyfriend) attend church or not. Few Norwegians attend church on a weekly basis, but many attend Christmas services because of tradition and general coziness (koselig), a Norwegian concept for you to google)

    I’ve been reading about the Princess’s boyfriend. He calls himself a shaman, describes himself as bi-sexual and charges large amounts of money to “cure” cancer and leukemia patients. Poor Martha Louise! Poor little girls! Poor King and Queen!

      I knew he was bisexual but had no idea he was making a killing off of the dying. Martha Louise has the option to chose who she would like to be with but those dear lovely children have no say so in the matter. I hope the King and Queen are advising her what is best for her children. It is bad enough that they lost their father to have their mother replace him with a witch doctor. WOW!!!
