Why? Well, although the CP-Couple's personal popularity has plummeted after the media started with a more critical coverage of them in 2013, the support for the institution of the monarchy has gone from strong to stronger. - And therefore, the television/newspaper commentators have probably found out that there is no point in continuing, at least not when it comes to stuff like this. |

If I have correctly interpreted Royal Norway's post, the guidance points in the other direction: the media is guided by the public's opinion of the monarchy, which I am not sure is beneficial for the public, the media, or the monarchy.

No, for me this sentence...
"Well, although the CP-Couple's personal popularity has plummeted after the media started with a more critical coverage of them in 2013, the support for the institution of the monarchy has gone from strong to stronger"
....leads me to the conclusion the other way round! And it shows how manipulated people are (by the media) these days.

 Well, it's quite simple, you know:
The CP-Couple started to socialise more and more with wealthy people, celebrities and Labour politicians. - And it didn't make it better that Haakon (in interwievs) started sounding like a politician himself.
So, what happened?
1. The egalitarian Norwegian media didn't like it, so they started criticising them in 2013, which then lead to their personal popularity going down hill.
2. Haakon/MM responded with taking their children out of the public school in 2014, and opted to spend parts of their 2015 summer-holiday with some rich-people on their yacht, which of course only intensified the criticism.
But as I wrote in post 99, which both of you referred to, the support for the institution of the monarchy has (at the same time) gone from strong to stronger.
Why? Well, as I've written in other threads: Due to the King's enormous personal popularity, which (although always high) has gone through the roof since his 70th birthday in 2007 - and unpopular politicians.

Yes, it is. And your post shows me I got you perfectly right. It´s just our conclusions might differ!
Let alone I also would never allow "the media" ot anybody else to dictate what friends I socialise with and where and with whom not, to what school I would send my kids etc.

I've actually come very close to defending the CP-Couple when it comes to the school stuff in this post.
And I have nothing personally against Ingrid going to a private international-school, or the CP-Family holidaying with wealthy friends on luxury-yachts (although it's very un-Norwegian).
My problem is the criticism it leads to. - And the CP-Couple knows how the Norwegian media, commentators, politicians and people are like, so they should know better.

Thanks eya! 
I don't know! - Her last engagement was when she attended the funeral of Kofi Annan on September 13th, and I know that she and Prime Minister Erna Solberg will hand ut this year’s ''Nordic Council prizes'' at the Oslo Opera House on October 30th (not in the official calender yet).
But she has been quite busy this year, and we must remember that she struggles with some health-related issues, including dizziness.

Well, but that necessarily doesn´t mean you betray your own convictions and just give in....!

Haakon visits Colombia as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme, UNDP, 11 - 14 February.
As part of this trip, he will visit the Territorial Area of Reintegration and Training of Plateaus (Meta), where ex-combatants of the Farc are making the process of reincorporation into civil life. ( https://colombia2020.elespectador.co...s-farc-en-meta)
