Christmas Photoshoot with the Norwegian Royals

The annual Christmas photo shoot from the Norwegian royals tend to include an activity of some kind. This year’s activity was decorating a massive gingerbread house in the ball room of the royal palace. The gingerbread house was, as Princess Ingrid Alexandra rightly pointed out in the video, made by gluing gingerbread onto a cardboard construction.

Following with the wishes of Princess Märtha Louise and Ari Behn to have their daughters more sheltered from the media, they were absent from the photo shoot.

It is interesting to note that whilst Marius’ dialect has decided marks of growing up around Oslo, he still carries the Rs of Southern Norway where Crown Princess Mette-Marit grew up.

The Norwegian Christmas plans

Unlike the previous years where Crown Prince Haakon and his family have celebrated the holidays at home or with the King and Queen, they will try something new this year, NTB reports. The family of five will be celebrating Christmas at their winter home in the mountains.

The King and Queen will follow the same procedures as they usually do, and spend the Christmas break at Kongsseteren. This year, Princess Märtha Louise and her family will be joining them on Christmas Eve. Princess Astrid and her family might stop by during the holiday, as may the Queen’s brother and his family.

The royal family tend to go to church on Christmas Day in Holmenkollen Chapel when they spend the time at Kongsseteren.
