Mette-Marit's job before marriage

[pollyemma]

I have a question I've been meaning for a while.

I've read that Mette-Marit used to be a waitress. Did she wait tables when she was dating Haakon? if not, what did she do? did she continue to do this work when they co-habitated before their engagement?

it would be strange to go into a restaurant and be waited on by someone whose face you've just seen on the covers of all the tabloids.

As far as I know (and I just checked with Melnaes's book) she worked as a waitress a few nights a week when she was studying, but before she met Hakoon. It doesn't say if she continued waitressing then. She started to take on a job at her friend's boutique when it was already known that she was Hakoon's girlfriend. Apparently the press began to hound her so she stopped working there.
