She was this open and vocal - even with pretty similar words - for a long time. See e.g. these quotes I translated about a year ago:
I don't see a substantial change in her words and opinion about royal life. While I certainly don't share her opinion and really don't get why she speaks about her 'not fitting in' with royal standards again and again when at the same time insisting on staying a princess (and - much worse- using the title for her shady business ideas), I don't think that one could accuse her of mentioning her issues with growing up in the royal family only when she benefits of the publicity (e.g. now) or suddenly changing her attitude towards the subject. She was always very open about this aspect of her life.
I don't follow ML as much as other members of the NRF so I don't always catch up on her interviews from previous years - I must have missed that one last year too. I can imagine Harald and Sonja are sadly used to such remarks from ML, in that case. Whilst I do understand the desire to be more "ordinary" in ML's position (obviously not from experience! ) such feelings are best kept to herself IMO.
