Mette-Marit has come a long way from her engagement days and has become not only passionate in her support for AIDS work, but has become comfortable and confident in her position. Good for her.
 
I admire her work very much. I read an interview where she said that she simply could not forget the people she had seen during a journey to Africa. It is very delightful to see that a Crown Princess does useful things like that without magnifying her work to the status of magnum opus.
 
First day of CP Mette-Marit in New York: She attended a Youth Summit today (June 7) where she met youth representatives to prepare for tomorrow's UN meeting on HIV and AIDS.

Kronprinsesse Mette-Marit brukte egne erfaringer i FN-tale om HIV/AIDS - VG Nett om Kronprinsparet

I watched the seminar and was very impressed. At the end of the seminar she was asked some questioned and her answers were inspiring and full of passion (and in a very good English!), it's clear that HIV/AIDS and the related work with (young) people is an affair of the heart for her. I think she does a great job!

30 June 2012, this appeal from Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway was broadcasted on Ukrainian television. Alongside similar appeals from other UNAIDS ambassadors, The Crown Princess urges young Ukrainians to join the fight against HIV
 
She comes across as warm and very pleasant, the kind of princess who would reach out not just out of necessity but of desire. Beautiful human being.
 
The Crown Princess will be in Washington for 2 days (July 25 & July 26, 2012) for the below event.

The 19th International AIDS Conference: Program and Accreditation

Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway is scheduled to attend The 19th International AIDS Conference, which will be held in Washington, D.C. July 25-26, 2012.

She will be the keynote speaker at the ceremony of The Red Ribbon Award for Innovative Community Responses to AIDS, where she will focus on the importance of the award and highlight the role of youth and local communities in the fight against HIV.

It is nice to see Crown Princess Mette-Marit attending the event. She seems to enjoy visiting USA and has no issue flying across the Atlantic ocean.

Mette-Marit has yesterday also attended the Population Services International (PSI) 2012 Impact awards at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC.


"PSI is a global health organization dedicated to improving the health of people in the developing world by focusing on serious challenges like a lack of family planning, HIV/AIDS, barriers to maternal health, and the greatest threats to children under five, including malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition" (psi.org)

I dont want to sound sarcastic but I think MM has only flying issues when it suits her.

If she was working a lot in Norway, I wouldnt mind. But MM basically jets out either to these high profile events (or when she is "finding herself" or going on holiday) that have become more and more celebrity-ish (its a good cause AND with to-be-seen guarantee), walking around with her expensive bag and shoes, doing her speech (yes, this is what all of them do), but I dont see her putting in any hard work elsewhere.

If there is one CP who I find really disappointing its MM.
