    Those Norwegians "bunads" are the most fantastic dresses and with the silver decorations and all. Just love them! Handicraft at its best! Ac

    Most beautiful princess in Europe. Culture and history in one, they provide security or orientation.

      Completely agree with you! The Norwegian royal family seems friendly and down to earth, simple but class.

    To the one who talked down the young royal gard. Here is what the seamstress said. The princess is very down to earth and nice. I have met her a few times throughout the process of making the bunad, and it was an honour being invited to the royal palace. We do have a lovely and beautiful princess.

      Not here. Someone complained under the prinsjesdagabout Amalia Quote:-And another thing, she never looks really happy on duty, mostly nervous. She has that in common with others in line to the throne: Ingrid-Alexandra, Elisabeth, Leonor and Christian. They all look like they want to be somewhere else.
      Compared with Estelle for example, who is always joyful, curious and seems genuinely happy....so I was being a bit sarcastic here since Ingrid always smile from ear to ear and don't have a problem with interaction with others on the job.
