Royal # 2 : a crown princess



In February this year, on the King's 70th birthday, he was given this statue of his mother Crownprincess Maertha (1901 - 1954).

Such a statue is already placed outside the Norwegian Embassy in Washington DC where the Crownprincess and her three children spent World War Two, and where Crownprincess Maertha took an active role in representing Norway.

When I saw the statue in the winter, surrounded by snow and ice, I decided to come back in the summer. Today was a perfect day for the Queen to be dressed like that.
