Before Haakon went to South Korea he attended the marking of Asker as Norway's third fairtrade municipality. Asker is where SKaugum is located

On Saturday Mette-Marit will be Godmother of Hurtigrutens new explorership Fram (which is also what King Haralds sailboats are called) Hurtigruten is very famous in NOrway and arranges beautiful cruises along the coast from Bergen and to the North. This new ship will also go to Greenland and is specialising on Polar cruises. Hurtigruten is arranging a huge event with some of Norways most famous artists at the Akershus dock to mark the christening May 19 13.00

But I guess now they are ironing their national costumes shirts and shining their shoes (or more likely someone does it for them:lol: ) and hope for nice weather tomorrow, they will appear outside Skaugum around 8-8.30 to greet the local parade before they move to the Palace for a quick change and to watch the big parade in the center

I really don't like to see Mette dressing black! Her ligth hair goes very well with pink, blue, gray, not black!
 
Can't really see the pics much and can't enlarge them. They did seem to enjoy their conversion though.
 
Okay. I clicked on the pics provided by Her Majesty above and have a better view. I have to agree that black doesn't seem to be a good color on MM. She looks really faded. Blue might be as dark as she can go. Regardless, she looks happy as usual.
 
Haakon is lovely but personally I think he is nicer without the beard

Oh, I like the beard. I've always thought it gave him a very mature look.
 
Oh don't get me wrong he is still very handsome with the beard. I just found him to be at his most handsome at his wedding:wub:
 
Either way he's very handsome. Without the beard he looks awful young.

Crown Prince Haakon at the "Boy conference" in Asker today. the conference is for boys in 10th grade and their fathers. The subject is the mental health of boys and studies that shows that many boys dont tell people when something is wrong and that it is very important for them to appear maskulin at a very young age to be respected or something to that effect

Crownprince Haakon also looks wonderful. He has a "mature look" that fits him a lot. He is no more "the young man" but the man. I can see in his face the Norwege future King.

Vanesa.
 
I think that he is making a good job. One day, he willbe a good king.

Seems the Mayor was wrong, kongehuset and the countyman both says she is comming alone. She will board the ship at 14.00 and take part in a 3 hour long trip outside Kristiansand for especially invited guests to celebrate the 80 anniversary of the ship.
