Summer Holiday in Corsica: 2012

[fairy tale]

Pictures of the NRF at their summer holiday in Corsica. Seems they are there altogether
MYROYALS: HOL

MM is going straight from one holiday to another. Not very flattering pictures of her when smoking on the beach.

[Carminha Stalker]

I love this family. By the photos I could see that princess Martha Louise and her daughters were there too.

Any info about where they are in Corsica? I see, they are there with the Norge. How many days need this ship from Norway til Corsica? The royals travel from Oslo with the Norge or they travel by plane to Corsica?

Dear Lawd ... is that the back of Queen Sonja in a bikini? Sorry, but I don't think that a 75-year-old woman can carry off a bikini ... btw, neither can her 30-something-year-old daughter-in-law. ;(

Mette-Marit put on flesh a bit (saying in a gentle way).
Ingrid-Alexandra is very brave - she jumps from such a height.

I think the girl who jumps is the eldest daughter of Princess Martha Louise, Maud Angelica

Look like they are all having a good time. The Queen looks fantastic, if I was 75 and looked that good, I might think about rocking a bikini too! MM, she doesn't look terrible, but a one piece might cover up the "pooch". And my gracious, Haakon is HOT! That man is way too handsome.

Haakon is a gorgeous hunk of man lol! Mette Marit has the extra pooch that many women (not all) have after having children, but I think she looks great. I love that they're all there together (though no pictures of King Harald).

I would respectfully disagree with the comments about MM. She looks great, and most would be ecstatic to have a figure like hers because she looks like a real, and healthy, woman.

[Artemisia]

I see nothing wrong with Mette-Marit's figure as well; she looks healthy and lovely. Not everyone wants to or can be stick-thin.
Nice to see the royal family, including Martha Louise's family, relaxing together.

I don't put bikini when I have rollers on my belly. Just a confirmation of facts.

[camelot23ca]

I think Mette Marit looks fine and healthy. A lot of that abdominal 'pooch' would magically disappear if she'd stand up straight, (and I say that as someone with horrible posture myself).

[NGalitzine]

Only women who look at the pages of Vogue and think the models represent a normal healthy woman would think MM is overweight.

Is Mette-Marit pregnant? I saw a picture of her in a bikini cradling her stomach today, and wondered. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nOjcBmOJP6.../s1600/egt.jpg

Poor woman probably just ate a big lunch or something, and I'm jumping to conclusions. I'm glad no one takes pictures of me at the beach! :-)

Even I would be very pleased if Mette-Marit were pregnant, but I doubt that a child is on the way. The Norwegian Royal Court might have announced it.

[Baroness of Books]

Are they OK with photographers taking their pictures on a private holiday? Either someone was on their boat taking sanctioned photos or this was another long-distance lens. I say this in context of the William and Kate honeymoon photos and the furor over breach of privacy.

[Archduchess Zelia]

Why would MM wanna cover up her pooch? She's on vacation, relaxing and just having some nice time with the family, it's not like she's walking the cat walk or anything. I think it's really inspirational to see a Princess who isn't all skin and bones.
What lovely pictures of the family, looks like they're having fun.

[Carminha Stalker]

I loved the photographs and MM looks super. She is a real woman, not something out of a fashion magazine page. Good for her to wear a bikini, here in Rio even old ladies do.
Haakon must be one of the best looking royal males around and the children seem like they are having lots of fun.

I don't agree at all. ANY WOMAN who want to should wear a bikini. Above all a woman of 75 years of age who has still such a great figure as the Queen has.

And as for Mette-Marit, I agree with most of the posters. She is almost 40 years of age and has a fantastic body. She looks beautiful.
