Leah Isadora Behn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leah Isadora Behn (born April 8, 2005) is the second daughter of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and husband Ari Behn. She was born at the princess's summer residence Bloksbjerg at Hankø island, in the municipality of Fredrikstad.

As of 2006, Leah Isadora is the 6th in succession to the Norwegian throne, after her sister Maud Angelica.

In the week of her baptism on June 16th, she made headlines around the world when it was revealed that her name Leah was inspired in part by the Star Wars character Princess Leia. Her mother Princess Märtha Louise said in an interview with Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, "I must admit that I have always been a big 'Star Wars' fan, and Princess Leia has always been the most beautiful in the whole world." Her middle name is said to come from father Ari Behn, who has a fascination with American dancer Isadora Duncan. He has also travelled several times to the Middle East where the name Leah originates.

On June 16th, 2005, Leah Isadora's christening took place at the palace chapel. Her godparents were Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands, her mother's friends Gry Brusletto and Katharina Salbu, her father's brother Espen Bjørshol, her father's friend Jon Andreas Håtun, and Didrik Vigsnæs, the husband of Martha Louise's bridesmaid and second cousin Marianne Ulrichsen. Leah's grandmother, Queen Sonja, carried her to the baptisimal font.
