Are they Catholic? I see news reports that state they went to Mass, but I thought they were Lutheran.
Oh sorry... I thought only Catholics called their services Mass.
Princess Maud became the wife of King Haakon VII.
She was Anglican.
Did she have to change her religion when she married her cousin Prince Carl of Denmark?

St Edmund’s Church
The church in Møllergt.30 was built by the English congregation in Kristiania in 1884 in a simple neo-gothic style and has since then been the main church of the Anglican Chaplaincy in Norway.
It was Queen Maud’s favourite church because she knew the liturgy and hymns from England before she became Norway’s first modern Queen in 1905.
In the church you can see a memorial-plate of her and her father, King Edward VII. The English monarch’s coat of arms, to be found above the baptismal font on the wall, is together with several other gifts from the English Royal Family.
Norwegian Royals are Lutheran, not Catholic. I don't think being Lutheran means not having any church services.
Converting to another religion should be done out of conviction and not because of marriage. The Dutch Royals have the right idea, they don't require anyone to change faith when they marry into the family.
