As explained before, even very thin women look preganant when wearing a bunad, its really not the right attire to judge "bumps"
Yesterday (pink coat) they celebrated swedens national day, today is the 100th anniversarof Norway gaining independance of Sweden. The two event is not related
In this article ther is a aftenposten video, it takes a while to load though. You can see the Kings Guard and after that the royals arriving at stortinget and returning to the palace

Wow the royal family's wearing period costume at Drammen Theatre shows that these guys have a sense of humour and can enter into the spirit of things. I can't imagine anybody else (except perhaps the Danish royals) wearing period costumes at all. The things the Norwegian royals do are really impressive.

Princess Märtha Louise is supposed to attend the events this evening. We should remember that Princess Märtha Louise has to be asked to participate in a royal occasion She can't show up univited.:)

I agree Martha looks wonderful. I actually even like the dress MM is wearing, albeit a little sober but I guess she she heard us when we said to use a little color--she is wearing red heels with absurd looking bows on the side, which are definately not my choice.

i got news from BBC check it out!
Norway marks its '100th birthday'
By Lars Bevanger
BBC News, Oslo
Today's Norway is one the world's richest nations
Norway is celebrating 100 years of independence from Sweden.
A unilateral decision by Norway's parliament to scrap the rule of the Swedish king in 1905 provoked military build-ups in both countries.
But the Swedish-Norwegian union in the end dissolved peacefully - through a referendum in Norway.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called what happened between the two Scandinavian neighbours an example to aspire to in today's world.
He told a Swedish newspaper the centennial was an inspiring occasion for all who work in the cause of peace, underlining the importance for both sides in a conflict to compromise.
Democracy prevailed
In 1905 Norway did enjoy a degree of autonomy, but the king and foreign policymakers sat in neighbouring Sweden.
When the Norwegian parliament unilaterally voted to disregard the king, some forces in Sweden called for armed intervention.
Norway answered by reinforcing its defences along the Swedish border but - despite strong nationalist sentiments in both countries - democracy prevailed. After negotiations both countries agreed to let the Norwegian people decide for themselves through a referendum whether they wanted full independence. Today the only animosity between the two countries seems to be found on the football pitch or during the Eurovision song contest where there can be only one winning team.

The concert UKPRESS
Märtha Louise looked so beautiful I think, even though the dress seems to almost swamp her. Mette-Marits dress is from Day/Birger, dont know about the coat. I dont understand the choice of shoes (its alittle Alice in Wonderland but not as bad as Mabels), allthough I see what she is trying to do, but if you are going to have one assesory stand out it is better that it is the purse IMO. I like her hairstyle.

Hrm. We do also see the Swedish royals in their costumes often, a recent example would be during their National Day I believe on Monday. (06/06/05)
