Princess Murta-Louise's birthday

The princess and her husbandOn February 1, 2002, Princess Martha Louise, the eldest daughter of King Harald of Norway and Queen Sonja, lost her title, thus freeing herself from the need to perform representative functions and losing royal privileges and possessions. In exchange, she was given the opportunity to do business and earn a living on her own.

The corresponding decree was signed by King Harald, who fully approved the choice of his daughter.

The first income the princess received for filming in the children's program, which is published on the Norwegian state TV channel. In the future, she plans to start her own company, engage in equestrian sports, as well as study physiotherapy and, possibly, create her own clinic.

The princess is not the first to surprise her subjects - in December 2001, she became engaged to Norwegian writer Ari Ben, known for his defiant behavior. Their marriage ceremony took place on May 24, 2002.
