There's a difference between travelling in a car within a country and getting on an airplane and travelling to another country, no matter how short the flight is.
Also, when in Sweden, Mette-Marit would've had a very busy and tight schedule -- as we saw with the King and Queen and Haakon attending all sorts of engagements and galas with the Swedish royals. Such a busy schedule could've escalated Mette-Marit's health problems.
Also, when working, even within Norway, there can be stresses placed upon Mette-Marit that wouldn't necessarily be present if she is relaxing or socializing with her family and friends.
Karisma said:I don't agree with the way You express it! Mette-Marit's top priority right now is her country. She have marrid a Crown Prince and the people of Norway is her first obligation. Period!
Even though she married in royalty and her role is to represent Norway, her first priority should always, always be her own health and the health of her unborn baby.
I doubt anyone in Norway wants a Crown Princess who shows up at all her schedule appearances but is sick throughout them.
There have also been numerous examples throughout history where Queens have put their country before their own young children to negative results. In Great Britain and Denmark, both Charles and Frederik respectively, have expressed publicly how lonely their childhoods were because their parents were constantly travelling and out of town and how little they saw of their parents.
In any job, whether it's Crown Princess or baker or office worker, if you care more about your job than your children or the health of your unborn baby, then perhaps that is a sign that you shouldn't have children in the first place.
