She was however 26th in the line of succession to the British throne at the time of her birth. Behn remained a private citizen and held no title, royal status or special privileges during the marriage; since 1814 Norway has no nobility and no concept of commoners, only citizens. They had three daughters, all of whom are also private citizens: Maud Angelica Behn (born 2003), Leah Isadora Behn (born 2005), and Emma Tallulah Behn (born 2008).

In the 2000s and 2010s his public activity and art were met with mixed reactions in Norway, and Behn acknowledged that many people regarded him as a “fool”. From 2013 until his death he was active as a visual artist, painting in a neo- expressionist tradition inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Behn’s artwork, described as “highly narrative”, was widely exhibited internationally in 2017–18.

Around the turn of the century Behn and some of his friends, among them photographer Per Heimly, declared themselves to be “The New Wine.” During the early 2000s Behn was often portrayed in Norwegian media as a pretentious poseur. He was known for “harsh public feuds” with critics and artists and was often the subject of ridicule in the media. In 2001 he famously challenged critic Kjetil Rolness to a duel with pistol or sword. Even his relative Ole Paus called him “Prins Kvaps von und zu Quasi” [roughly: Prince Fool von und zu Fake] in 2002. In later years Behn was reconciled with many of his critics from this period, and public reception became less critical in the late 2010s after he became active as a visual artist. In his final novel Inferno Behn commented on how he was viewed in Norway: “I also design tableware and wine glasses, I joke with my own position as a public figure in the media. I am a clown, in worst case. In best case, I am a debater and public figure. To many people I am a fool.” Art historian Øivind Lorentz Storm Bjerke said that Behn “is sometimes portrayed as a merry amateur who suddenly decided to try his hand at art, but this is not correct […] he is part of a group of visual artists who lack formal training, but who are active in different art forms.”
