Leah Behn, granddaughter of the late King Harald, is set to appear on the dance floor during the upcoming episode of the TV 2 program «Skal vi danse», according to an announcement by participant Tale Torp Torjussen to Nettavisen and Dagbladet. The appearance follows a period of low public profile for Behn following her grandfather’s death and subsequent national mourning periods.
Leah Behn Joins «Skal vi danse» Performance
Princess Märtha Louise’s daughter, Leah Behn, will dance onto the television screen alongside professional and celebrity participants, according to coverage by Dagbladet and Nettavisen. Torjussen revealed to Nettavisen that Behn, along with friends Frida and Julie, will participate in a burlesque-inspired dance number centered around iconic figures and events.
«Vi skal gjøre et ikonisk nummer. Jeg har fått med meg tre bakgrunnsdansere, som er Frida, Leah og Julie,» Torjussen stated to Nettavisen, explaining that the group has dedicated the entire week to rehearsals.
Mourning Period and Royal Family Protocol
Behn’s upcoming television appearance follows strict protocols observed by the Norwegian royal family following the death of King Harald. According to government announcements and official statements from the Palace, a national mourning period lasted until the funeral, while court mourning continued through October 9.
During court mourning, the Royal House canceled official programs with the exception of constitutional duties. Although Behn is not an official member of the Royal House, questions regarding her participation in the TV 2 competition arose during the period of national grief. Sebastian Solberg previously shared images of Behn at the dance center alongside other contestants, while TV 2 and Behn’s manager declined to comment to Se og Hør regarding her official status.
