Has Ingrid Alexandra resumed school ?
This fashion show was it an official or private visit ?

As LaMinka says Ingrd has not started school yet, norwegian chldren start school the year they turn 6. Ingrid is in Kindergarden, where she started when she was 2. Probably she will go back to kindergarden on monday.

the fashonshow was not an official engagement, she just showed up

She should know better shouldn't she. Not leading by example, I'd say, especially when daddy and daddy in law died / got cancer and both were chain smokers.

I had hoped that the younger generation will understand better and not follow into the footsteps of QM of Denmark etc And for a woman it means not only to pay with her health, eventually, but also with her looks So plastic surgery might be around the corner a lot sooner than usual.

Well, maybe she's under stress and that's how she deals with it..She was at a private party and it wasn't as if she was smoking at a public function. I understand she might be looked on as a role model, but still, she was at a private function.

In this article from Hola magazine, the picture shows MM at the fashion show, but wearing no make up and with her hair not styled at all. I think she should have taken a little bit more of time to work on her appearance for this event, don't you think?

Actually it's their 6th anniversary. They were married in 2001. And according to the Norwegian Royal House's calendar kongehuset.no - Official engagements, they'll be holding an event in connection with their Humanitarian Fund.

Haakon speaks great English! He and Mette-Marit both speak excellent English, IMO.

Mette-Marit will visit The Archpilago of Svalbard for the first time since she became Crown Princess, on september the 20th she will hand out the International local community Prize supported by FK Norway (read about it in english here). Longyearbyen gets the prize based on meassures to include people from different countries in to the community, an international university exchange program and special education in Norwegian language for people who does not speak the language. Mette-Marit will hand out the award during a special evening event.

Just wondering, where do they stay when they are up north? Do they have a palace/house there that belongs to the RF or do they stay in hotels? I assume the distance is to big to go back to Oslo.

When they can bring Norge (the royal yacht) they stay in that. But they also use hotels whenever there isn't a royal residence to be used.

Today Mette-Marit was in Bergen, or in Grieg-hallen. I was around there with two friends and then she came with the major of Bergen, Herman Friele, and several people from the police. She had curls and was wearing pink. I have some pictures, but my camera was a little .... but she looked radiant and was very smily. She talked with the flower boy for some time before she walked in.

Lucky you, you saw her! Thanks for the pictures!
