That puts them into Iceland at roughly the same time as the Danish Royals transiting from Greenland to Denmark.

MM looks best imho in the last picture you posted. Simply stunning in that blouse(?).

Taking a page from Frederik and Mary in Greenland, it looks like the northern isolated climate brings the best out in temperaments of the Royals.

This entire series of photos is wonderful. She looks just beautiful.

It's funny how taste works: some people on this board are all Mary Mary Mary, but I find Mette-Marit has a much more natural beauty than Mary--although sometimes her clothing does her no favors. But that's just my opinion and nothing else.

I agree with you, and I said so just a few days ago. Mette-Marit is what my mother calls a refreshing beauty. She looks beautiful no matter what situation she is in. She always glows and does so without glopping on five pounds of makeup.


I wonder why royals are going to the coldest places in the world. It's summer, head to the Caribbean!

Summer trips to escape the heat, and winter vacations to Hawaii !!!!!!!!

exactly. :flower:

To freeze or fry that is the question!

[hrhcp]

You do Iceland a bit of a disfavour ... it is warmed - as is Europe - by the Gulf Stream.

I would imagine its like Iqualit, Nunavat (Canada) ... I was there around this time of the year a number of years ago, and it was very nice. Running around in shirt-sleeves, and getting sunburnt.

The trouble, I suppose, is that you like to 'sweat' in balmy humid conditions year around and think that to be normal? :flower:

i agree with both of you.....Mette- Marit is more of a natural beauty than Mary.......
Mette-Marit's gestures are more natural....Mary gives people a feeling that she's trying to fit in as a "crown princess"....I found her smiles are sometimes kind of fake or unnatural

I don't agree, about beauty and bone structure Mary off course is more beautiful and better. MM skin looks so pale, putting make up only make her face like mask, indeed MM is better with ultralight make up.

I agree MM smile looks natural than Mary.

I agree, Mette-Marit is such a natural beauty. That curly hairstyle is very refreshing for her. I think pastels suits her very well.
