What does, HRH Mette-Marit, Marta Louise and Madeleine have in common?

It is now March and I was just thinking, except being of the same gender, with a royal title starting on P, a surname starting on M, and the same linguistic roots in the N pond… what does M.M.M have in common….????

Two are married -one in a year will be wed, two out of their men has a common job and one of these two should have a blogg tribute to himself, that being out of various reasons.
M.M.M. attains various works on the palaces behalf, one less, one more then the others and one almost lost her rights to the “P” but now performs less the activities bestowed upon her birth. TWO are born into that responsibility while one chose it, as mentioned, one almost un-chose that.

Two have children, one outside, one in a year perhaps two. One has recently been sick soon travelling away; the other one has been away, now just coming home, and the last stayed both “home and away” teaching the skills of believes.

Now that we have played the economical reasoning game for a while, we might find ourselves beaten, to the point that there are no common area for the three… we might be wrong..

However, based on all the news that I within an impressively short amount of time got a hold of, I discovered one thing:

The three of them are taking a lot of criticism from both the conspirators public and the newspapers, in one beating or the other. But they stay headstrong, sharp-sighted woman, deemed to go on.. and with that I bless you.

Happy upcoming 8’th of March, to you and ALL other princesses of any gender out there.

It’s not about music..

Recently, some roomers bounced off in all direction that the Norwegian princess Martha Louise was going to bless the Norwegian Eurovision song contest, with her appearance. Or so at least, we where mislead to believe, - thank you Skavland.
However, out of this tabloid discussion, lead by some of Norway’s most ridicule newspapers (but then again whom am I to speak), emerged another, positively surprising and interesting suggestion by professor Trond Nordby; to have the event hosted by Princess Ragnhild, Miss Lorentzen.

We might ask ourselves, what knowledge of modern pop culture could a princess with the rare knowledge of the early 19’th century, possible contribute with?

Personally, I never thought the Eurovision was really about music, but about the national feeling connected to it, similar to the Olympic Games. -Take away the collective feeling of winning, and we are left with an art project.

So in this sense, in the same sense that thousands of people watch the “new year speech” of the king, -for the sake of national collective emotions, blood, sweat and tears… wrapped in moral words, Princess Ragnhild should host this evening.

Kronprinsesse Victoria Made til Barbie Doll / in norwegian

På en liten leketøys messe i Nürnberg, Tyskland, ble en unik figur avslørt. Det var en Barbie dukke kledd i en strømmende kappe og iført luksuriøse smykker og uerstattlig tiara. Men dette var bare ikke noe vanlig Barbie dukke, men en gjort i glansbildet av Sveriges kronprinsesse Victoria.

Kronprinsesse Victoria som flere ganger uttalt, en moderne prinsesse og en inspirerende global borgere. Hennes utseende er modellert etter hennes opptreden på 2006 Nobelprisen seremonien. Kronprinsessen er forpliktet til veldedige formål, og bidrar til å markere dem som er, mindre heldig her i livet. "Hun er rett og slett et forbilde for jenter over hele verden", sier Rosa Zeegers, Senior vise president for; Barbie International. Å gjør et skille mellom velykket og forsøket, stort nok til å sende SS Titanic rett igjennom.

Kronprinsessen Victoria Barbie dukken ble videre presentert sammen med to andre dukker, den verdensberømte forfatteren JK Rowling og vellykket tennisspiller Kim Clijsters."Det er en hyllest og en anerkjennelse av den positive energien som disse tre sterke kvinner til vårt samfunn. De er sanne rollemodeller for jenter i alle aldre og personifiserer de verdier som Barbie representerer. Enten du er syv år eller sytti år gammel, må du inspirerende rollemodeller", sier Rosa Zeegers.

Uheldigvis for Barbie dukkens potensielle samlere og kongelige fans,
vil Kronprinsesse Victoria Barbie ikke bli solgt i butikkene.
Å vi får se hvilke fremtidige sjikkelser som lar seg videre støpe, inn i den
udødlige verden av plastifiserte kvinner.

How many princesses are there in the world :-)

Lets get really into the world of princesses, shall we..

I have managed, from sorting out the world monarchs and based on these families, to make a list (dated 01.02.2010), of thrillingly news on how many princesses there actually are out there, or more precise, and estimated idea, here in the real world.

We are all familiar - at least those of us who bother to read the tabloids - with the British family, them being a very spotlight seeking family and all. Just by going through all the continents marked monarchy, we learn that there are 42 Monarchies, and among them 13 belonging to the British Empire. Even though grand, they do not top the list of the country with the most princesses.

The country with the most princesses is however out of our range when it comes to being on the spot. King “Abdullah Bin” (and so forth, it is quite long)” has taken multiple wives during his lifetime (similar in history has also his father and brothers before him), and has about known 15 daughters and some 7 sons.

Saudi Arabia. Lets get real, and lets do it with numbers…
- "But talk of the collapse of the House of Saud seems premature. It is after all a huge structure, with an estimated 7,000 princes." - BBC quote.

With estimated 7,000 princes and stretching the family tree in equal many directions, we can start to calculate 7000 times 3 (as a vague but honestly guess) we will end up on 21 000 princesses. And even among this vast number, I only managed to find few by names… I also came across this sentence “it was also known that there was a special hospital in Riyad to deal with the misfits of inter-marriages” with little checking out, there are several articles about the birth defects that have resulted from marrying close relatives in S. Arabia. (Saudi Arabia has 28, 6 millions inhabitants)

Oh yes, and by the people I have collected it is 126 princesses, with full names in my list. I will release the list later… if anyone has a different number, please tell me.

“A wardrobe’s Princess”

It is, to my amusement mostly (I assume), a fact that all princesses have a talent, (or someone with that talent) of choosing dresses and clothes with a high and unique standard, -for the world to post comments upon. Me, I am not gifted with the rear sight of singling out the traits of clothing or similar (I do however enjoy pink), which makes this subject, slightly more attractive to ignorantly browse about.

We are obviously in need of considering, socks. Socks should be made of wool and preferably pink. -Nice and warm.

I do not have so much more to say, but Norwegian Silje Pedersen, has some very distinct opinions on the subject of princess clothing. The article found at; www.klikk.no/mote/article538974.eceis , suggest, pinkly, that Mette Marit’s wardrobe has a modest selection of outfits, dresses, swimming kit, jogging gear and further more… with the price tag of more then a million Norwegian crone’s of worth. Which in compares to others in her wealthy position, I would find quite reasonable, she being of blue blood and all.

If we allow our eyes to enjoy the article further more, we learn that the circles of inspiration within the royal wardrobes, cast but only a short shadow, as Princess Marie Chantal of Hellas and Rosario of Bulgaria shear similar dresses as the Norwegian crown princess. – This inspires at least me, to think that they in fact do shear a common princess consciousness and talent for selecting clothes. (or that same person, with that helpful talent)

That aside, I could be satisfied with pretty much anything, as long as we can avoid a country-slide of single mothers competing in a talent-show of critiques, concerning clothes and royalties.

I am not sure if it clouds up or clarifies the myths, that throughout history princesses have a remarkable taste in clothing. Feminist would have me hanged if I would say it’s a she-male thing, the traits of clothing… (Because I obviously do not got it) but I cannot get myself to agree on, if there is some exterior help involved or not, is there a secret society dealing with this, and how could I become a member?

A fictional dilemma of somewhat truth?

I would like to reflect a bit on the fiction parts of reality. If we are to become specialist on princesses, we should not forget the magic of reality, if there is such a distinction between the two. - What concern me, ever so much, is the fairytale aspects of the real princesses. Do they see the difference of their influential power; -to what can actually be obtained and what is the classical pure and wishful thinking? How do they cope with their limits, between fantasy and the reality, as a princess that is…

What you think you can do, and what can actually you do?
There is a series of though rushing through my tiny egg like head as I am thinking this, I quickly settle on that ; high ambitions usually settle for far less, and that in the end ; it is the intentions and the process that counts.

I lean back, and feel, -lets be honest with ourselves -, that no one are completely satisfied with such a quick answer popping up. A princess in need is a princess indeed!!!
Is it within the princess habit, to create unobtainable goals, such as saving the world, or only parts of the world, and in that case, what do they exclude? How do they decide on the realistic choices or the pure nonsense?

I will not set up a complete agenda concerning the numerous intentions and plans concerning our real princesses, as they tend to drift in quite many directions. Our fictional princess agenda on the other hand, is usually floating between marriages and fighting off an evil power… so for this time, I will exclude them. (have a look at the video clip to enjoy all the reasons of why.)

I resign, no i don’t really…. But if we could use all the money, claimed by the fictional “Princess industry” to push forward the wellness of the princesses of our real world, …. Perhaps some circle of fiction and reality could benefit from each other..
