Isn't Skaugum estate their home (where the family lives)? So they are hosting a seminar in their house? Is the state divided in many buildings or the main building divided into different areas or are they hosting in the room they usually use for their family activities?
Anyway, it looks amazing

Skaugum is their home. On the ground floor are 5 representations-rooms, here were made these seminars. On the second floor are their privat rooms, I think they are closed from the guests... And there are more modern furnitures, than in the representationsrooms...

In this picture you can see the staircase what goes on the privatrooms:

This is the same room. From the entrance hall you come first in this room, you can see next the library:

Next to the library (on the other side) is the dinerroom with the blue wallpaper, in this picture you can see it:

Thanks so much for the informations, fortimo. I was wondering if they let the strangers walk into their private rooms, which seemed to me a major breach of intimacy allowed by the couple.

Also, the portrait behind MM is Crown-Princess Martha?

Yes, I think she is, but I am not so good in the norwegian history... :) (But the goggle shows similar pictures, if I type "CP Märtha"... :) )

Yes that portrait is CP Märtha:smile:

This article writes, that also the newspaper "Semana" has pictures about the holiday in St. Barts. If anybody has the newspaper, can scan the pics?

Thanks, thanks, I saw also some pictures in a german newspaper, so it is not only in the Seher and Semana. If I have more time, I try to scan them...:)

When Haakon and Mette-Marit took over Skaugum from King Harald and Queen Sonja, it was modernised, and an apartment with the day-to-day living quarters were set up on the second floor. The first floor remained as it was (or close to it) and is in use for more official purposes, such as the dinners they host for various occasions, this seminar...

That would be great :smile:
Here are even many more pictures of all the family during their holidays.

I think Mette-Marit discovered the photograph here, she seems to be angry:

It is every time exciting to see VIP's in holiday or in private moments, but if I see the second picture, I am a little bit sad about them, and symphatize with them, they can't be alone, it can be frustrating, in every moment to be photographed ...

CP Haakon and CP Mette-Marit granted former U.S. President Bill Clinton audience at the Royal Palace today, February 12, 2013.

Dear Members, Does anybody know what Mette-Marit wears? It seems a batique-style blouse and a long collier?

To me it looks like a black dress with a black cardigan (ruffled in the waist) and yes, a long collier

She really looks happy !!!

I think on this picture you can see better, what MM wore (I think it is a black cardigan):
