The video that has caused a stir in the media

It should be noted that the 27-year-old is facing charges of mistreatment of one of his ex-partners, which is why the video has been the most controversial.

So far, it is unknown whether the Norwegian princess will continue with the rest of her agenda or will remain focused on her treatment, as indicated by the Palace. For December 5, a lunch with the country’s bishops is scheduled at the Royal Palace. Two days later, on the 7th, he will be present at the final of the men’s soccer championship and on the 10th, he will have one of the most important events: the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize, a ceremony that takes place at Oslo City Hall. , and which will pay tribute to the Japanese organization Nihon Hidankyo.
The movement represents the thousands of survivors of the United States atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, in World War II. With their testimony, the survivors seek to raise awareness about the consequences of nuclear war on humans.
