AND THE FROG TURNED INTO A PRINCE

In the morning Princess Märtha Louise, Ari Behn, Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit and some of their royal guests visited SINTEF (the Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research at the Norwegian Institute of Technology), from where they walked to the Lerkendal football grounds to visit Rosenborg Ballklub, a football club.

Early in the afternoon the couple was welcomed at the Erkebispegården in Trondheim by a dancing couple in white dresses and a crown on the head. They also met little girls dressed as a princess who had to convince Princess Märtha Louise to do the big princess test. Princess Märtha Louise was confronted with a frog she was supposed to kiss wearing a paper crown on her head and this way had to pass the big princess test. When Märtha Louise kissed the frog it turned into her groom Ari Behn who gave her a kiss on her chin.

At 3:00 in the afternoon the bridal couple received official gifts at the Royal Residence of Stiftsgården. Next to paintings, graphic art and photo art, also money for the Princess Märtha Louise Fund and cruet-stands was given.
