I would guess she is going to see the Norwegian designers who work from London who is part of the 100%Norway2006 design and architecture exhibition she is opening tomorrow, atleast I hope that is what she is doing and that she is not going to see brittish design and put it on the official calendar:rolleyes: Kristian Aadnevik who is part of the exhibiton shows his collection tomorrow at 12.30

What is more interesting is that Haakon seems to finally ackowledge that he is infact also a farmer, and one of the biggest farmers in Asker, a suit and tie farmer that is going to be King, but a farmer none the less. This week he has several events related to agriculture and ecological farming. A bit overdue IMO, he never seems to have taken any interest what so ever in that before and there are many farmers that struggle in Norway. He will eb quite busy this week with 6 events.

Great thanks !
Lovely and well dressed plus a super bag !
I hope there will be more pix !
 
She looks lovely but she should let go of the dark socks/nylons or at the very least go for sheerer ones.
 
Why does she always wear such frumpy clothes for design events, and the hair is terrible. She looks more stylish at AIDS events than design events:wacko:

Glad to see her back on business after the long stop for Sverre Magnus !
 
i think mette marit is looking great lately. although the clothes are not "dazzling", they give a professional and modern look that is perfect for a princess and shows a lot of 'down to earth-ness'.

is there any video of the speech she gave for 100% norway 2006? thanks in advance!
 
When is the next Mette-Marit official appearance ?
I miss her

You can do like me and dream that she will learn something from her fashion-oriented sponsorships.

Is there a reason that MM never makes it to the States when her husband comes here? I believe he's been here at least twice since his marriage and neither time MM was with him. Pregnancy was used as an excuse the last time. What's the problem this time? Even if she were pregnant now, she wouldn't be far enough along by October that she couldn't travel with Haakon. Just wondering if she's avoiding the American press and why.

She went to the United States early in her marriage. If you look at Getty Images, there are photos of her meeting Jimmy Carter. She's going to Germany in a few weeks, so perhaps her and Haakon scheduled their trips so that one parent would be home during these few weeks. It seems that both Haakon and Mette-Marit make at least a few solo trips during the year, along with foreign tours together. This year for example, Mette-Marit went to Switzerland on her own for UNAIDS, Haakon went to Guatemala, I think for UNDP, they both went to Canada for the AIDS conference and both will be going to India this year. Last year Mette-Marit went to Malawi on her own, Haakon went to the USA and they went to Poland together.

Avoiding the american press? Its not like the american press would write anything wether she comes or not. They wrote close to nothing about her 4 day visit to Washington in 2002, she was mostly followed by Norwegian press. Haakon is going to the UN I would guess in his role as UNDP ambassador, that is his thing, and when he is there he attends the anniversary of the sailor church as well. They are not joint at the hip. Haakon did not go with her to London last month, nor will he go with her to Germany where there really is a nasty/adoring press to avoid if she was so inclined.

Mette-Marit, Munch & Manning exhibition

Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway attended the opening of the art exhibition "Munch and Maning" at the Munch Muserum in Oslo, Norway, October 13, 2006

you know, oddly enough, the dark stockings with those shoes don't bother me, maybe because it seems to match the bracelet she is wearing on top of her black sleeves. Now if it were an ankle sock....

:ermm: Those dark socks with those shoes..... :sad: That's a CRIME against fashion :ohmy: and should be punished :wacko:

Ehm, well... I love MM but she SHOULD get fashion adviser... or lady in waiting, if she doesn't have one :ohmy: I don't like collor of shoes... I don't like that big bracelet :neutral: and simply, I think, she is wonderful woman, but why she wears sometimes wonderful shades of color and sometimes she is like old TV (black and white) :cool:
 
Mette-Marit christening Fram

Press release

Her Royal Highness Crown princess Mette-Marit will be the godmother of Hurtigrutens new explorer ship, MS Fram.
(Trieste 18.11.06) The pride of the Hurtigruten Group, MS Fram, was launched today in Trieste, Italy. Specially built for cruising in the Arctic and Antarctic by Fincantieri, the world’s largest supplier of cruise ships, MS Fram marks an important new path for the Hurtigruten Group.

Hurtigruten are proud and feel honoured that Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette Marit, has agreed to be the godmother of our new explorer ship, MS Fram. We look forward to the naming ceremony, which will take place in Oslo, 19 May 2007, says President and CEO, Henrik Andenaes.

In the summer of 2007 the Group will welcome aboard its first passengers on an explorer cruise to experience close up the wonders of Greenland. In due course this will be followed by Antartica.

MS Fram is named after Fridtjof Nansen’s polar ship, Fram, which can still claim to be the only ship that has sailed to the world’s northern-most and southern-most points. The choice of name highlights and strengthens the Hurtigruten Group’s position as one of the world’s leading providers of explorer cruises in Polar waters.

“Norway has a unique history of Polar exploration and the Hurtigruten itself, Norway’s coastal express, has a unique position as a tourist product both nationally and internationally. MS Fram follows in the wake of the great heroes of Polar exploration and enables us to offer a totally new experience to the expanding cruise market. The launch is an important milestone marking the way to MS Fram’s maiden explorer cruise in the summer of 2007,” says Henrik Andenæs, President and CEO of the Hurtigruten Group ASA. “We have already had a big rush of passengers who wish to sail with MS Fram on the first Greenland cruise leaving Reykjavik in Iceland on 27 May, 2007.”

114 metres long and 20 metres wide, MS Fram will have eight decks. There are 136 cabins furnished to a high standard, providing 318 beds. The ship also has good conference and meeting facilities. A specially equipped tender lobby makes expeditions to shore in Polar Circle boats both safe and comfortable. MS Fram also has a restaurant, bar, sauna, gym, Jacuzzi, passenger bridge and viewing lounge.

“We see strong growth in the explorer tourism market. Customers are often older, frequent travellers, financially secure and looking for genuine, back-to-nature experiences but without sacrificing comfort. So we are confident that many people will want to experience Greenland and the Antarctic on MS Fram,” maintains Andenæs proudly.

The Hurtigruten, Norway’s coastal express, has sailed the coast of Norway 365 days a year for the last 113 years carrying post, freight and passengers. It is this experience that makes the Hurtigruten Group an attractive provider of explorer cruises. The Group also offers cruises to Svalbard, the Antarctic and from Spring 2007, also to Greenland. It is just 1,362 kilometres from Siorapaluk in Greenland to the North Pole.

“It is difficult to get any closer to the North Pole, so we hope that this will be alluring for those looking for a somewhat different experience when they travel,” adds Andenæs.

Photo and article from launch will be available at www.hurtigruten.com - Monday 08:00am.

I noticed that looking at those pictures from Rex that we were given a link for, MM's son from her previous relationship was named "Prince Marius....". Was that a faux-pas on their part or did I miss something?

You didn't miss anything. :flowers:
Though Marius is treated as a member of the Royal Family, he is not officially member of the Norwegian Royal Family and does not have any title.
It was just a mistake.
