Haakon and Mette-Marit Current Events: April 2007 - January 2013

[sofajr]

I suppose CP Mette-Marit has not very busy schedule as she's studying now (as far as I remember she's finishing it). It is a intense time right now and last year she even missed Easter family celebrations because of studying.
As of CP Haakon he has engagements and as always was he has not so much as other princes but that is usual.

I didn't exactly know where to put it...:

A while back, the Norwegian Band Federation gifted Princess Ingrid Alexandra with a saxophone. She’s been too young to play it up until recently. At an audience with the Band Federation, her father revealed that he had now purchased a mouthpiece for the saxophone, and Ingrid Alexandra is now ready to learn to play.
The Federation also let it be known that when Sverre Magnus is big enough, that he will also receive an instrument to play.

She should have studied when she was in school, instead of partying and getting pregnant out of wedlock.

A bit harsh, no? We all make mistakes.....
Anyway if she is studying then she's doing the right thing and not trying to get the degree because of her status, good for her!

Probably a bit harsh - lots of people don't study as well as they could have at school for various reasons. Once they get a bit older they realise the benefits of an education and go back and complete it.

By going back to studying she is setting her children a good example that education is something that should continue throughout your life in the many varied forms that it can take.

IMO there are very few of us who have not got any regrets about some of our behaviour when we were younger. I know if I had my early twenties again I would have done more study instead of dropping out like I did to get a job because I wanted to earn money - as it is I have only just completed my study this year at the age of 37.

one more gallery of CP Haakon a Canarian island:

But MM was not with Haakon on the Canarian Island?

I am not interested much in Norwegian royals, but I have read recently in one Slovak magazine that staff of the family hates Mette-Marit, because she corrects everybody.
Is it true?

[fortimo]

I have read it about Haakon...

[marian]

could put an article about that? or more information, please?

[wartenberg7]

Sounds like "informations" from the tabloids. Don´t believe everything these kind of yellow magazines say!

Good for you, kathl29! Congratulations on completing your studies! I did not mean to be harsh, I just wanted to point out, after reading sofajr's comments about intense studying interferring with Easter celebrations, that this was of her own doing and there is no need to pity her for missing family fun.

I understand your point but the previous way you stated it just came off a bit unkind and harsh- the way above was much better way of explaining....:) thank you!

Thank you for explaining what you meant. Once explained your point makes perfect sense.

I found an article which says something about the CP Couple visiting the country in August: They'll visit Møre and Romsdal from August 19-22 and Hedmark August 22-23. Unfortunately the translation is quite bad (they translate Hedmark into England) :( , but I hope I got it right.
