(soft piano music) - In order to prepare for the role as a princess, I asked them if I could have a little princess school to learn how to eat and how to sit and how to behave, and how women at that time weren't allowed to drink alcohol unless a man made a toast.
And how she could never go to the bathroom while having a long dinner.
And also the way the Royals bow to one another, the hierarchy is very, very strict.
Martha and Olav, they were cousins.
So they've known each other for their entire life and they, they were in love.
Then this war came and, and separated them for five years.
There was the threat that she might never even be able to return to her family in Sweden.
That must have been an enormous challenge to live in that uncertainty.
To bring up your children, some- for so many years by yourself.
It must've been very, very hard - Up until now.
The stories about World War Two have mainly been the stories of men.
I think it's high time now to look at the female perspective on the war.
Martha is just one of so many opportunities to find that perspective.
- I hope that people will be carried away on an amazing journey.
Something that people don't know anything about.
I hope that people also will start thinking more about the female perspective of history, in general, and also about how you use your power.
If you have a little bit of power, how do you use that power?
