Such sad news as Christmas awaits. MM may be supporting her husband's sadness also. I've just have never seen this couple so depressed ~ as anyone would be receiving news like this. All my best wishes for a recovery, King Harald, and may God go with CP Haakon as he and his mother stand in for him.

Mette is like wine-she gets better with age. I think they make a lovely couple!

 

[Alexandria]

I never thought of Mette-Marit as being like wine, but I definitely agree with you CD -- she gets better looking with age.

 

[norwegianne]

Well, she gets better looking, as she grows more confident in her role.

 

[hrhcp]

plus the fact, when women are pregnant, just get that additional "I feel good" factor

Yesterday Haakon and Mette-Marit visited AKSEPT in Oslo, Its a day center for people (and their relatives) who have AIDS\HIV. There are 2300-2500 People with HIV\AIDS in Norway and an additional 2-300 that does not know that they have the virus. The press was not allowed inside.

Like Princess Mathilde of Belgium, Mette-Marit has become a special representative for UNAIDS (another one is the current Miss Universe)

From April 25-26 she will make a working visit to Geneva to familiarise herself with the organisation and their work.

Are there any pictures from Mette-Marit's lunch today for workers from Norwegian HIV/AIDS organizations? It seems like she's getting ready to resume her work with this lunch, the trip to Switzerland next week, as well as attending King Carl Gustaf's celebrations.

ditto... i miss her in the royal scenes..

Older news, but I think it shows Mette-Marit's interest in HIV/AIDS related causes. When searching for some info on Mette-Marit I found this link

http://www.eurekalert.org/46664arctic/46664-Programme-and-Introduction.pdf​

I know she attended the 46664 concert last year on the 11th of June, but this shows that she also attended the 46664 High Level Panel on HIV/AIDS the next day.

Mette-Marit has given an interview to HIV-Norges magazine "positiv"
Its an old picture, the magazine is out on the 27th
http://hivnorge.no/positiv/

VG has an article about the interview
http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=158284

She will also attend a conference on the World HIV day december 1st. in Oslo. The conference looks at the 25 year of the HIV virus

Critical of Norwegian knowledge

Crown Princess Mette-Marit believes that HIV sufferers are stigmatized in Norway due to ignorance about the conditionю
Prejudice can make the problem worse, the crown princess told the magazine Positiv.

 

[Larzen]

Kongehuset added an event today, maybe a kind moderator could add it to the november calendar please

Seems to be very quiet at the moment for Haakon and Mette-Marit, or maybe the press are just not writing too much.

The article is appropriatly called Mette-Marits Dark Side about how she loves dark colours like navy and black, and that she has understood that matching shoes and purse is "out"

Crown Prince Haakon went far north, to Alta yesterday

[dazzling]

thank you Larzen for the pictures, at last shes out again, its good to see her.

 

[kwanfan]

Good to see her back out. Hopefully the back issues were short lived and won't bother her anymore.

 

[Her_Majesty]

MM looked great and it seems she is fine again

Looking at the calendar, it seems like Mette-Marit is going to be busy over the next week or so. The couple is hosting a feast for people with mental health problems on the 30th, she has two World AIDS Day events on the 1st, she's attending health exhibition opening on the 5th, lighting the Christmas Tree in London on the 7th, and then there are the Nobel Peace Prize events on the 10th.

Mette-Marit may love dark colours but I think they don't suit her very well.
Regarding colour I would say she is very much the spring type and definitely not the winter type.
She always looks so much better when she is wearing softer, lighter colours,
like light blue, light green, light pink...

 

[sm1939]

must say cant wait until 7th December when they are coming to the UK!!

I agree - this woman can look like a goddess of (Nordic) spring in pastels, but insists on putting on clothes that make her look ten years older. Maybe it's camouflage - showing how "good" you are in terms of impeccable moral behaviour.
