February 27, 1929
New details were released today concerning the forthcoming marriage between Princess Martha of Sweden and Crown Prince Olav of Norway.
The wedding will take place in Oslo on March 21, and will be broadcast on the radio in Norway and Sweden.
The wedding will take place at 1 p.m., and Bishop Johan Lunde of Oslo will be the presiding minister. Members of the Swedish, Danish and Belgian royal families will attend the wedding. The Duke of York will represent King George V. It is "also possible" that Crown Prince Umberto of Italy, Prince Hendrik of the Netherlands (the consort of Wilhelmina), Prince Nicholas of Roumania and Prince George of Greece will also attend.
It is expected that Princess Martha will travel by train from Stockholm to Oslo, and will be met by Crown Prince Olav at the first station "on the Norwegian side of the border."
Wow, what a treasure trove of both historical and current "Royal Musings". Thank you for all your efforts. I think I'll get back to getting lost in all your most interesting post.
