A Royal Connection
The article " The King's Defi ance, " (September 2018) features the famous photo
of King Haakon VII and Crown Prince Olav. It was taken at Glomstuen, the Molde
estate that my great-aunt, Mathilde Petersen Preuthun, owned and occupied.
When contacted about housing the royals, Mathilde explained that it would be
diffi cult as she already had guests there, including her niece soon to give birth.
The niece was housed somewhere else and the royals moved in on April 25, 1940.
During one of many air raids, the entire household was forced to fl ee into the
surrounding woods. The cook, Kristine, had broken her leg. Mathilde, fearing the
outcome of the fi sh gratin having just been put in the oven, left her hiding place
and returned to the house. She saved the dish and it was enjoyed for dinner that
evening. After the war when Mathilde was called to an audience at Oslo's royal
castle, the King, remembering his meal that evening in Molde, asked her: " So tell
me, Mrs. Preuthun, how did you manage to save that fi sh gratin? "
