It translates more like "Well, I've moved out". Leah shared earlier this summer that she was looking for a place to stay on a short term lease for "six months or more".

Without derailing the thread and knowing anything about the man except some facts about his family I'd say that he's very much the type I could see the Princess end up marrying - a young professional from an aristocratic Benelux background where there are still many families that maintain a...

If they wanted too. I can see them staying put at Adelaide cottage and work at Windsor castle and Buckingham palace. Alternatively I could see them move into Windsor castle. For reasons like them not wanting to uproot their children from friends and schools and wanting to raise them in the...

Yes, she did. She got frightfully upset by the pompous ceremonial of the funeral of Queen Sophia and started making plans for a light and more down-to-earth funeral after that. She specifically stated her wish to be buried outdoors.

I didn't know that! How sweet.

Up until 1918 all members of the royal family were buried in the church. Gustav V and his Victoria were the last people to be laid to rest there in 1950 and 1930 respectively. Kings and queens rest in sarcophagi in the chapel itself and the others in the crypt below. The members of the Royal...

No, there aren't edifferent interpretations of what she said. She never said it. Neither cake nor brioche.

Queen Marie Antoinette never said that. The quote originates in the "Confessions" of Jean-Jacques Rousseau which were written in 1765. "At length I remembered the last resort of a great princess who, when told that the peasants had no bread, replied: "Then let them eat brioches."

If Marius' mother and stepfather use part of their appanage to support him then his lifestyle can be seen by some as being funded by the taxpayers.

Stenhammar might have a modest exterior (it's really a country house underneath an imposing roof) but some of it's rooms are rather grand.

Brace yourself @Muhler - that's FIVE coupons for TWO nights!!! I've been to many weddings that offer drink coupons but the rate has been around five to ten coupons for one night. Non-Norwegians and non-Swedes might wonder why there's a need for coupons but it's because of strict regulations...

Was that a peak of her own tiara I saw?

This hiding under sheets by the bridal couple is both ridiculous and declassé.

She's on other housewives related shows. Cynthia Bailey, another housewife, is also a guest.

Reality star Sonja Morgan is currently in Geiranger for the wedding making the Norwegian Royal family a part of the Real Housewives franchise. King Olav is turning in his grave.

My darling stepmother received The King's Medal of Merit in silver for 40 years of employment in the public care sector this week. She was initially scheduled to receive Queen Margrethe's Medal of Merit after New Year but the abdication postponed the award ceremony until now when new medals had...

These are aged old terms and the usage of them to differentiate between different categories of royals is a modern invention.

In Norway, Sweden and Denmark the terms royal house - "kongehuset, kungahuset" and royal family - "kongelige familie, kungafamiljen" are used interchangeably by the public, by the media and often by the courts themselves. Most people aren't aware of the different categories the families are...

I'd say it's all down to personal preference and a wish to control access to the wedding.

I don't see it presented as the default option just the most common one. What do you think is the reason for the wedding not being held in a church?

I think to much focus is being put on why they're not getting married in a church. It seems nothing extraordinary given that the link you posted gives four equal options of where you can get married within the Church of Norway: 1. Your parish church 2. Another parish church 3. Outside or another...

Yes, thank you, I do know how to read and understood exactly what Mbruno wrote. Thereafter I consciously chose to reply in the way I did to make a point I feel is important and have gotten lost during this whole saga. People suffering from addiction, mental health issues and even those who have...

Ingrid said that she could talk to Marius about anything. That doesn't mean that he talks to her about everything. Even if she knew about him having issues with addiction and his mental health that does not equal her knowing about him abusing his girlfriend. We are many who have family suffering...

He'd soon discover that most of the presumed royal and upper-class guests to his wedding would rather stay home than risk seeing themselves in gossip magazines and on reality shows. The first lesson you need to learn when you start mingling with the rich and famous is that discretion is A and O...

I think she's in the back. Right under the two children on top of the stairs.
