Hello,
I am a new poster and wanted to make a comment regarding Mette-Marit. To start off I am a huge fan of Mette-Marit. I think she is an incredibly courageous person. To have to face negative public scrutiny everyday with grace is no small feat and I applaud her for that. I know I couldn't do it.
With regards to her "transformation" I wish people would not assume the worse and for once give her the benefit of the doubt and assume the transformation is due to her new role and not a recovery from drug addiction.
As a commoner turned Crown Princess isn't it a foregone conclusion that one must transform themselves to fit the role.
In addition, her weight gain or lack of, can be attributed to stress and or one's body type. Like Mette-Marit, I have angular features and have always been quite thin. But if I gain even 10 pounds, my bust and my butt becomes more noticeable. If I lose those same 10 pounds or more my face look gaunt, my eyes sunken etc. Also, stress can do weird things to one's body. The more likely story is that the newness of the situation may have caused an introverted person like Mette seems to be, to lose weight.
As far as Mette having a drug addiction, as a non-expert in this area but one who has seen quite a few drug addicts on the streets in NY, I would have to say, this does not seem to be the case. Drug addicts have a look to them that even once they have recovered you may still be able to tell.
There are obviously many people who will not let her live down her past, which quite frankly, is the past of many of today's youth. She has obviously moved on, and I think people should move on as well. Really, how many times do you want to beat someone down? Do you think that any of the crown princesses could stand up to this much criticism? At least they get some positive reviews. To me she comes off as a genuine, warm hearted soul (drug past or no). Let's leave it at that.
Just an opinion
Ingyk
