Crown Princess Mette Marit opened the Red Cross centre for the return of former convicts to society. Here the Red Cross, the Correctional Service, Oslo Municipality and the business community cooperate in order for previous criminals to have normal lives.
''We can't escape from our background. Some bring a baggage that feels heavy to carry. It's important to turn it into something positive. Then it's crucial how one is met, and are one met with acceptance, then it's easier to live with their past," said the Crown Princess.
''We need someone who says 'you're good enough as you are' that it's okay, and shows that you can even be an asset,'' she added.
VG's disagreement with CP Mette-Marit earlier this year was about the Marius letter.Crown Princess Mette-Marit had a home advantage when she met VG's former chief editor Torry Pedersen to talk about the media's role, but they didn't mention old disagreements.
On Tuesday, the Crown Princess and VG chairman and former chief editor Torry Pedersen sat down for a conversation about the media during this year's Sikt Conference in Kristiansand.
''I've been very excited about this interview! Are you nervous?" Asked the Crown Princess.
''No, but I'm mentally prepared for payback time,'' replied Pedersen, referring to the newspaper's disagreement with the Crown Princess earlier this year.''
''We actually intended to call Ingrid Alexandra for Tyra Eufemia, but we thought it was so special that we did not dare anyway'', said Crown Princess Mette-Marit during the opening.
Had it been today, we would have done it, but we are also pleased that it became Ingrid Alexandra, said the Crown Princess.
How perfectly beautiful she looked !!!!.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended the opening of "The Queen's yes" - an exhibition highlighting the role of the queen in the Middle Ages - in Trondheim this afternoon, October 31. Queen Sonja was scheduled to attend but had to cancel due to back problems:

Crown Princess Mette-Marit opened the exhibition “The Queen’s Yes “, about the Queen’s role in the Norwegian Middle Ages, in Trondheim on Tuesday.
The Crown Princess opened the exhibition by unveiling the sculpture “Queen of the Middle Ages”.
The exhibition highlights the theme by emphasising three queens – and one that never became one: Margrete Skulesdatter, Eufemia of Rügen, Margrete Valdemarsdatter and Dyveke Sigbrittsdatter.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway opened the exhibition “The Queen Yes” Tuesday in the city of Trondheim. During her opening speech, she came with a fun story about her daughter, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Norway’s future queen.
The Crown Princess said: “We actually intended to call Ingrid Alexandra, Tyra Eufemia, but we thought it was so special that we did not dare to do it.
“Had she (Princess Ingrid Alexandra) been born today she would have had another name, but we are also pleased that it became Ingrid Alexandra.”
TV2's royal expert Kjell Arne Totland thought it was pleasant to see that the Crown Princess feels capable of representing again.
"The memory event at the University Aula was probably something she had been looking forward to and would not miss. I also noticed that she was very touched and had to use the handkerchief several times during the two-hour event,'' Totland said.
He also points out that while Mette-Marit is recovered, she showed signs of not being completely rid of the disease.
''The Crown Princess obviously takes her precautions after the dizziness attacks she has been bothered with this week. On her way out of the Aula, she chose to go outside the red carpet and instead use the handrail down the steep staircase.''
You can clearly see that she is very unwell ! Her face is changed with pain.
Today, November 26, Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended a remembrance ceremony at the University in Oslo for the deportation of the Jews in Norway 75 years ago:

"I am very grateful that the Crown Princess contributes to openness about mental health. We see that there are quite a few who still do not seek help even if they need it," says minister of health Bent Høie.
BTW: It's not possible to post google translations on VG articles in this forum.At the opening, Crown Princess Mette-Marit told the press that she was impressed with the work done at Lovisenberg. She is impressed with how users and employees have been involved in creating a building that is good to be in.
"The fact that Lovisenberg has been working to reduce use of coercion also says that the hospital has an additional pulling force when it comes to this patient group who needs a lot of focus," said Crown Princess Mette-Marit at the opening.
Photos from NTB Scanpix:Crown Princess Mette-Marit visited today the ideal foundation Sex and Society. After receiving an orientation about the Foundation's efforts to promote sexual health among children and young people, it was an engaged Crown Princess who met the press.
"It is important that we are good at talking to our children about sexuality and sexual health. I think it is especially important today that you are very open about many things and there are many things you do not talk about at all and that are very shameful for very many," says the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess also thinks there is a big difference in how it was when she grew up versus what it is today.
"I think some topics have become even more tabooed. Youth today is more afraid to show off their bodies in fear of not being pretty enough or not good enough, because you are bombarded with so many pictures that are so perfect'', says the Crown Princess.
HRH The Crown Princess of Norway Mette-Marit was greeted with an enthusiastic welcome at Monday’s Sex and Society event in Oslo. The society operates Norway’s largest center for sexual and reproductive health.
Speaking upon the importance of the day’s topics, Princess Mette-Marit said; ‘Removing guilt from human sexuality is a worthwhile endeavor and presenting sexual information in a straight forward manner to children and to those seeking sexual information leads ultimately to better health.’
On Monday, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway visited the Sex and Society clinic in Oslo to learn more about their work to educate and treat young people aged 18-25 in the areas of sex, emotions and body image. The Sex and Society clinic is Norway’s largest clinic for sexual and reproductive health and rights, with 29,000 visitors and patients each year.
The visit allowed Her Royal Highness to see the daily life and activities of the skilled health workers at the clinic who receive and treat thousands of visitors who come with questions about sex and contraception or to get testing for sexually transmitted diseases. In addition to seeing visitors to the clinic, the staff and volunteers also chat with more than 8,000 youth online, answering questions and giving advice.
