Good articles, thanks for posting them. I love that Haakon and MM were the first Norwegian royals to visit South Korea.

I hope you will read this, and think about her as a human being in the future, not only a wardrobe.

But this is the kind of job where looking welldressed and regal does not only matter, it is a job requirement. You don't have to be a clothes obsessed "fashionista" to accomplish this, simply wearing clothes that FIT and standing up STRAIGHT will do the trick. Add to that a little better hair care (ie cutting it shoulderlength, toning down the blond, having it professionally styled for engagements) and it would make a world of difference. If she wants to be seen as a "regular" person, than she should have chosen another line of work.

I can also quote Queen Silvia who once said "why can't the media be more interested what is inside my head, instead of what's on it ..."

because we don't know what is in their heads since they are not allowed to voice their opinions and everything they say and do is highly controlled and censored.

There was a story on how Haakon and Mette-Marit had walked into a surfing store in Korea, unofficially, and the proprietor's wife had a Norwegian pram for her child. This prompted the question if they needed a new pram themselves anytime soon (for a new baby.)

Mette-Marit: No, we don't.

Haakon, laughing: We already have 5-6, so it's not a matter of prams.
