The fairytale of the little princess and the angels

So, the Norwegian princess and attention-junkie Märtha Louise is in the media again. You could expect that being married to the peacock-drawing, pamphlet-writing Ari Behn would give enough PR (all PR are good PR), but no. After Märtha resigned her royal title and started her own business reading fairytales, she has been in the median quite often. On a side note, she isn't very good at reading fairytales. The only thing she got going for her, is that she is a real life princess. Luckily, kids are easy to please...

However, this week she's come forward and explained that she talkes to angels, which has caused a bit of fuzz in the media (the news are slow this time of year), and in the Christian and alternative community. Personally, I think there is a thin line between talking to angles and hearing voices in your head. And if either starts commanding you to do stuff, be very cautious...

Update: For all your english/ pigeon speaking readers, here's an english version from BBC.

What would be even worse was if her business went belly-up. 'Cause you're right - she doesn't really convey the fairytales very well at all (even I can hear that). This despite the fact that noone is better suited for the job than her with the following credentials: She is a real-life princess - check. Her life story could be in a fairytale - check. Much of her time is obviously spent in a fairyland where elves and unicorns roam and she has conversations with angels - check. She's even married to an elf, for God's sakes.

Btw; you'll be seeing your share of Ari Behn-creations up close and personal in August, I suspect.

Yes, those Ari "Peacock" Behn creations are relly growing on me. Looking forward to seeing them.



Well, not really...

"The spoiled princess and the stable boy"? Yes, I vaguely remember hearing about that fairytale, but I don't think it's suitable for children...

She even claimes to have discovered that she was in contact with angels while she was "doing stuff with horses" (holdt på med hester). That ain't no PG-13 material.

I seriously wonder what her PR people (or those of the royal family) are thinking now. Are they crying in the shower or updating their resumes?

"She said WHAT?"

One word: Inbreed.
