I was thinking exactly the same, Jess!

I was just wondering: is there a princess who doesn't look great in red? Mette-Marit surely does look stunning! :)

She looks well, but I don't think the jacket looks good on her. It looks a bit like the wrong size.

She will also go to the World Congress on AIDS in Toronto which is held 13-18 August 2006

Haakon will probably also go, the position as UNAIDS special representative is for now for two years and both sides can ask to have it prolonged, it is expected that she will make several trips with UNAIDS theese two years, she will especially focus on youth and young grown ups
