RELATED STORIES:

The birth, like the last one, took place at the couple’s home in the suburban valley of Lommedalen, west of Oslo.

The princess and her husband, known for stirring controversy, made headlines when their second daughter Leah was also born at home. The princess later emerged as an advocate of home births, much to the disagreement of some members of the medical community.

The newest member of the royal family has been given the name Emma Tallulah Behn. She is King Harald's and Queen Sonja's fifth grandchild.

Her older sisters are Maud Angelica Behn, born in 2003, and Leah Isadora Behn, born in 2005. None of the girls has a royal title and Princess Martha Louise gave up her "Royal Highness" title when she married a commoner in 2002.

The princess also has no royal allowance anymore, but helps support her family by writing books, working in the entertainment business and, most recently, launching a school in which she helps students get in contact with their angels. The princess has claimed clairvoyant powers.
