You are so lucky! I love hearing stories of people who have had the opportunity to meet the royals. MM always seems so nice in her interviews. Thank you for sharing your story.

You are so lucky, it's wonderful for you
I dream of MM and Haakon coming once to Belgium, I would take some days off at the office I tell you !

Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess attended children's conference on diversity and climate yesterday. Unfortunately I can't find photos.

Since I don't know how to post pictures successfully here - I post a link (in Norwegian) about the children's conference. There's a small picture here as well. :)

The caption tells you more about the conference sofajr:

Nice to see her again, with a new hairstyle

[Her_Majesty]

Sorry to say that; but IMO MM's outfit was horrible!
A pure mess. It's getting worse and worse.
The hairdo was something new.. but ugly IMO. Looked more then messy.
The outfit would have been okay if it wasn't black from head to toe. ..
or maybe she should have used skin colored stockings.
I wonder why she attends a Children event being dressed like she was going to attend a Funeral.

I agree with you This is really, really messy

[vestfoldlilja]

I like the outfit actually. I think she looks beautiful, and its nice to see her do something with her hair.

[Duke of Marmalade]

Unfortunately as usual with MM during past months: Good cause but ugly black combined outfit, hideous "hairstyle". I don't expect her to be a model but she could at least try to look neat.

Her hair would have been much nicer had she done the braid without the messy curls. I liked her hair at the skiing thing, that would have been prettier. The outfit wasn't ugly, just very, very boring and dark.

[sylla]

It was nice to see that she bothered to do SOMETHING with her hair, but that outfit! Does she suffer from depression or something? Only her brightly colored hair kept away the impression that the angel of death was coming.

[Her_Majesty]

I usually like MM with curls. But where does the passion for the braids suddenly come from?
It makes her look like a 12 years old girl.
I wish she would cut her hair short. Like she had it in her early years as Princess!

About the outfit...
She attended a children's event... she should have chosen brighter colors. Or at least skin-colored stockings.
She should fire her stylist.

that's a strange haircut that you suggested, Her Majesty, for a 30 something years old Princess

Oh, dear - no... I much prefer a bit longer hair - as long as she does something interesting with it, braids - or curls, like now.

Personally I happen to think that a leather (or imitation) jacket, and slightly wild hair works for when she's attending a conference where children/teens are a part of the topic, and the participants. Only thing I might have wished for were some slacks/jeans instead of the skirt. I feel like MM is customarily dressing too dowdy when being out in action, and it might be nice to have some youthful outfits on the schedule.

I like the topic of the conference, and it was interesting to note that two members of parliament were involved as speakers, and would get the children's feedback to bring with them to parliament. The visit to the parliament for the children, I also think was a nice touch.
