Yesterday there was an interview with Crown Prince Haakon in Magasinet. The interview was done while he was in East Timor with UNDP. Some translated outtakes, as it is a lengthy interview. There is a lot of discussion on the Millennium Development Goals, the UNDP and the trip in general.

Interview with Princess Astrid in Magasinet
On January 24, Princess Astrid’s husband, Johan Martin Ferner, passed away. He was buried earlier this week. He was, in short, the model of the perfect royal in-law – never in the papers for his own gain, never speaking about his royal relatives, had a thriving business and life of his own, and always two… Continue reading Interview with Princess Astrid in Magasinet
Interview with Princess Marie in Costume
Princess Marie was interviewed in the Danish magazine Costume for the November issue. I bought the issue when I was in Denmark last week, and below are some translated out-takes of what she said.

Interview with Chris O’Neill and Princess Madeleine
After returning from their honeymoon, Chris O’Neill and Princess Madeleine gave an interview to Svenska Dagbladet. Google Translated version. Can I just say how nice I found it that they didn’t go with some of the self-declared Swedish royal expert journalists for this, and a paper that appears to be not as “sensationalistic” as some… Continue reading Interview with Chris O’Neill and Princess Madeleine
