Yeah, she has had so much problems this pregansy, and now she has missed the visit to Sweden, and i have a feeling that we don't see her in the visit to Denmark, England and USA.liv said:it´s a pity that we can´t see much pregnancy clothes of Mette-Marit
Karisma said:None of them above! There are only one Crown princess who is going to roule, be a Queen of her country, and rouling as the head of state. And she already knows how to dress like a becoming Queen when it's in gala. My choice, of course, with no doubt, must be HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
Among them above the worse are Mette-Marit of Norway! She is a disaster for her country. Who else arrives in official state visits wearing jeans?

I dont't think so, and im certin she wouln´t be before she is married. And she havn't had problems with drougs either...Smilla said:Appearing in jeans does not make you a disaster for your country (though it might be unsuitable).
Yes, it's certenly unsuitable! And far from "the protokoll" for officials representing their country.
And Victoria isn't pregnant, as far as I know, isn't she?
Alexandria said:When did Mette-Marit arrive for a state visit in jeans?
Karisma said:When she arrived for the Royal wedding in Spain!
(A friend of mine was in the same café in Oslo the other night when Mette-Marit was among friends and did'nt seam sick at all, thougt she could´nt go to Stockholm for official visit. The Royal family from Norway was in gala att Stockholm castle and Mette-Marit in jeans eating biscuits in a café at Karl-Johan in Olslo).

Alexandria said:But that wasn't a state visit. She was arriving in Spain after a flight with a young baby. She likely wanted to dress comfortably. Yes, she could've dressed in a pants suit as Maxima and Laurentien did, but she didn't dress inappropriately either.
Well, I think it's very inapproriately and very many in Norway thinks to, if one reads the news.
When you say that she dressed for a state visit in jeans, I thought you meant that she greeted some president or prime minister in jeans. Like if Victoria of Sweden had greeted Harald, Sonja and Haakon in jeans.
I'll see if I can find the picture when she greeted a forign minister in jeans. (I don't know how to post though... )
Mette-Marit's arrival in Spain was a different matter altogether. What matters is that she dressed appropriately for the wedding.
"There's only one chanse doing a first impression"
The reason given for Mette-Marit's inability to participate in the visit to Sweden was because of low blood pressure. As she has a history of a fear of flying, one of the reasons her blood pressure might be elevated is due to this fear, and it would be an unnecessary stress during her pregnancy. And as she was supposed to be in Sweden and did not have other royal engagements within Norway planned, why couldn't she enjoy a night out with her friends? She's a princess but that doesn't mean she isn't entitled to her own life and to socialize with friends now and then.

Karisma said:If she is going to be a Queen one day she must overcome fear of flying. And as a official person sha can't inhibate often. I'ts not good PR for her country. (The flying time Oslo-Stockholm are 45min. And I'ts not a very long way to go by train or car either). Mette-Merit knows how to be a diva!
Alisa said:Actually, I believe she was criticized by the Norwegian press for dressing too casually for arrival. I personally think her attire was inappropriate for the event, she looked out of place standing on red carpet in jeans and a cardigan, especially next to Haakon who was wearing a formal suit.

No need to be dramatic. I simply commented on the appropriateness of MM's attire upon arrival.Genevieve said:Was it the end of the world though that she wore dark jeans and a brown cardigan when she arrived in Spain? It's not as if she wore that outfit to the wedding.
Both were inappropriate for each occasion.Genevieve said:Besides, isn't it better that she made that fashion guffaw upon arrival than the kinds of fashion guffaw Laurentien made at her husband's cousin's recent wedding?

Genevieve said:Have you ever experienced a phobia? Phobias, whatever they may be for, flying, heights, spiders, closed spaces, or whatever, can be gripping and terrifying. It is not always something that is easy to overcome. Some people require medication or years and years of therapy to overcome their fears.
If Mette-Marit is as afraid of flying as she is, it wouldn't matter if she was in the air flying for 45 minutes or for 45 hours. It's not about the amount of time one is in the air. It's about being in the air. Period.
