Maud Angelica named “Bravest Woman of the Year”:

Behn won the award for the powerful speech he gave when he was 16 years old during his father’s funeral in Oslo Cathedral in January.

“With television cameras and all of Norway’s attention focused on him in one of his worst moments, the then 16-year-old chose in his self-written speech to address the importance of preventing suicide. He spoke directly to those who also are struggling with a mental illness, directly from the heart of a grieving family member. She chose to express the pain in words, but also to convey hope. That there is help. That she does not have to go as far as with the father. For the important speech and frankness, Maud Angelica has been praised in unison, “the jury wrote about the nomination in early October.

On Instagram, Princess Märtha Louise writes that she is proud of her daughter.

– How you always think of others, even in your darkest moment. How you always lift up everyone around you, see those who need a little extra attention, and use your experiences in the valley of darkness to strengthen others, he writes.

On Sunday afternoon, Maud Angelica posted an Instagram post explaining that she rarely uses her Instagram account for personal things, but now makes an exception and is “speechless and completely overwhelmed” by the price.

VG has received permission to reproduce his Instagram post.

“Since my father took his own life, I had a special perspective. As I am part of the royal family, I would use the opportunity and my position for something good! And also to get something valuable out of the pain that I and my family have been through, and to help others. Hopefully someone can avoid the reality that my family and I can experience. Or do not feel alone if unfortunately they have gone through the same thing »writes Maud Angelica Behn and warmly appreciates all the support and love after her father died.
