⭐Crown Princess Märtha of Norway Biography (Part 1 of 2) -Childhood, Marriage to Crown Prince Olav

[@GrammyTapDancing]

So sad she died so young. She was beautiful inside & out. A woman of strength. 🇱🇷❤️

Thanks for filling in some of the blanks on this underrated person of interest from recent history. She truly got tossed in the deep end and had to learn to swim with the big boys and girls in the USA. I found your videos after watching Atlantic Crossing and they add a welcome bit of colour commentary. Keep up the good work!

I'm fairly certain the photo at .12 is Princess Astrid of Norway, Crown Princess Martha's second daughter and not the Crown Princess. Other than that, a nicely done video.

[@fabulouswomeninhistory]

Oh dear, you are right. I had that tagged as Crown Princess Märtha and it just went on from there. Thanks for the correction and the nice comment. :)

Wasn't olavs mum,a daughter, maud,of Edward 7th of Britain?

It's amazing how all the royal families across different countries were and are related to each other. Princess Märtha of Sweden married her 1st cousin Crown Prince Olav of Norway. And that is not uncommon at all.

[@laragaffney457]

Yes, she was. That made Olav the first cousin of George VI.

[@maxmustermann6395]

Yes, she was. She was the youngest daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom. Queen Alexandra (her mother) was a born Princess of Denmark (daughter of King Christian IX) and since the Norwegian Royal Family is a sideline of the Danish Royal Family. King Olav has relations to the Danish Royal Family even through his mother’s side although she was a Princess of the United Kingdom.

The ATLANTIC CROSSING PBS series' producers depiction of the "warship" presented to Norway on September 16th 1942 appears on the PBS screen to be a Gleaves or Benson Class Destroyer plus the word "destroyer" is used contextually in the play as being synonymous with "warship." What actually became the HNoMS King Haakon VIII [per NavSource records] was actually the 173 foot US Navy Patrol Craft PC-467; a "warship" of much smaller size and proportion than any of the destroyer craft given to other navies during WWII. This blatant and unnecessary exaggeration of reality by the series' producers calls into question the many other verbal and visual assertions promoted as being fact in the play.

Hm...sorry but princess Märta Louise is not reigning, that is her father, king Harald. You have also mixed up the swedish and norwegian coat of arms - the left one with the lion is the norwegian and the right one with the three crowns is the swedish one.

[@fabulouswomeninhistory]

No surprise there. I am dyslexic, sorry.

[@sandymitchell258]

First cousins, such a risk, I hope the children did not suffer side effects ?

Part 2 is HERE kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJCbgnt8n9mJp7s . The research on the life of Crown Princess Märtha of Norway took quite some time. Also be sure to check out the truth of her relationship with the United States president, Franklin Roosevelt ► kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3mrhmmBlpqIe80

Episode Five of Crossing the Atlantic gets really silly. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor (12;30 pm Washington time) The President spent the rest of the day consulting advisors and members of congress. (www.history.com/this-day-in-history/fdr-reacts-to-news-of-pearl-harbor-bombing) He didn't have time to visit the Crown Princess or probably even call her. Basing a story on events that could have happened is one thing; basing the story on events COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED is simply smarmy.
