Prince Sverre Magnus confirmation september 5th 2020

Matte Marit crying is adorable. Probably every mom can relate.

Maybe I'm over-thinking this, but with her pulmonary fibrosis diagnosis, maybe she's thinking ahead to other major life events that perhaps she won't be around to see?

MM is always crying: weddings, funerals, christenings, confirmations, concerts, parties etc.. It's almost unusual to not see her shed a tear. She's a very emotional person.

I had no idea. Thanks for the info, Lady A. Being openly emotional isn’t typical for royals, is it?

I think she looks super annoying My baby (he’s 14 ) is getting confirmed next month and he would definitely prefer no tears too..

Maria, congratulations in advance  I hope he’ll get a fantastic day, even if confirmations in 2020 are somewhat unusual.

I think SM seem to be mostly shy and awekward in fron of the camera but I see he gradually overcomes any behavioural problem and he stands up to each occasion. IMO, this turn is largely based on the love and support from his family. In this event, his event, he seems nervous but mostly serious, def well loved.

I cannot see any picture of MM crying. Sometimes I miss some pictures I think.

I do like this family.

Another thought about why no bunad for Sverre Magnus. He's probably not finished growing yet. And men's bunads are more difficult to alter than women's. Girls have typically passed the menarche when they are confirmed and have attained their adult height.  So they are given their bunads then. (And the bunads usually have ample side seams because . . . a lifetime of good Norwegian food can mean a few changes along the way). But boys can and often do grow taller for a couple more years.  So I'm betting he'll have one by the time he's 19.

Thank you everyone, when I can

It seems Denmark is on the second Covid-19 curve so it is still up in the air how the day will end. Poor kid - he had three big events cancelled and the confirmation up in the air still.. it certainly teaches you not to take things for granted.
