Princess Märtha Louise of Norway remembered late Ari Behn, her ex-husband, while celebrating the confirmation of daughter Leah Isadora Behn in a recent Instagram post.

Leah Behn, second of the three daughters of Princess Märtha Louise and author Ari Behn, was confirmed in a private royal ceremony on Saturday. The Norwegian royal court did not announce the ceremony in advance, but it was later confirmed that the entire royal family was in attendance.

Princess Märtha Louise later took to her Instagram account on Sunday to confirm that her 15-year-old daughter, who is sixth in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne, has been confirmed. Alongside a picture of Leah in "bunad," a traditional Norwegian folk dress from Telemark, Märtha wrote: "My wonderful and talented Leah Isadora had her confirmation yesterday. You looked so beautiful in your new 'bunad.'"
