Ragnhild Alexandra was born 9 June 1930, eldest child of King Olav V and Princess Märtha of Sweden, older sister to the future King Harald V and Princess Astrid. Norway's law of agnatic succession shut her out of the throne despite being firstborn. In 1953 she married Erling Lorentzen, a shipping magnate's son turned industrialist, and that same year they left for Brazil, where he became a main owner of Aracruz Celulose. She lived there until her death on 16 September 2012, fifty-nine years after the move - a royal who chose distance and stayed.
