Last week, the stage was set for the grand celebration of the 18th heir to the throne, Princess Ingrid Alexandra.
After the birthday celebration, several have reacted to how the celebration turned out arranged at the public library Deichman Bjørvika. Author Maria Kjos Fonn (32), on the other hand, reacts to statements below princess gala dinner.
Surprised at grandma’s art opening
I Queen Sonja’s birthday speech to the princess presented the queen with an expression that the 32-year-old paid extra attention to:
– My mother said that it does not depend on how you feel, but how you take it. This has helped me a lot. I want to pass these words on to you, the queen said in her speech.
This the author responds to, opposite Subject.

– Damaging
– This type of linguistic cliché is, in the same way as “it is uphill it goes up” and “you are the smith of your own happiness” is something I react strongly to, because they are harmful, Kjos Fonn admits to the website.
Kjos Fonn points out the importance of the statement being broadcast live to the entire Norwegian people, as opposed to a private birthday celebration. She believes that this underlines the error in the saying.
Awarded secret gift
When asked by Subject whether the Queen’s statement is a privileged thing to say, the author answers:
– It is tone deaf to say, with the economic and social privileges the family has anyway. One can, of course, discuss how privileged the royal family really is, given the freedom that life brings. And the queen and the princess have undoubtedly had tough times in life.

– Not meant literally
Facing the website, Guri Varpe, head of communications at the Palace, explains that the term is not meant literally.
– We point out that the quote you are referring to is an old expression used by the queen’s mother, and such old sayings are neither meant to be taken literally nor to describe society, Varpe says.
These were the unknown royal guests
The head of communications also explains that it was not the queen’s intention to mention people’s life situation.
