Thanks in advance
Crown Princess Mette-Marit is a daughter of now-divorced journalist Sven O. Høiby and Marit Tjessem. The crown princess has a sister and two elder brothers, and grew up in Kristiansand in the southern part of Norway. She spent many weekends and holidays were spent in the nearby valley of Setesdal and at the seaside, where she learned to sail. During her youth she was active in the local youth club Sletteheia, where she was also an activity leader. As a teenager she played a volleyball, qualifying as referee and coach.
After starting at Oddernes upper secondary school in Kristiansand, Mette-Marit spent six months at Wangaratta High School in Australia, as an exchange student. Some time thereafter, she attended Kristiansand Katedralskole, where she passed her final examinations in 1994. After another break from her studies, Mette-Marit attended Bjørknes Private School for a while, and then took examen philosophicum (the preliminary university examination) at Agder College.
By her own admission, Mette-Marit went through an unconventional phase before she met Crown Prince Haakon Magnus. As a part-time student, it took longer than usual to complete her high school education before going on to take preparatory university courses at Agder Regional College. She then worked for a year at a café in Oslo.
Mathilde1286 said:She has a degree in Anthropology...I read it in the magazine Vanidades.
I don't think she's got a degree in Asian studies, she may have studied it while she was in London. The royal webpage does not mention her having a degree in anything, which I think they would have done if she had got an actual degree. It mentions that she studied development at The School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London - but not that she gained an actual degree.Aussie Princess said:I think Mette-Marit has taken a lot of courses.....but I think her degree is in Asian Studies?

As far as I know, Haakon doesn't play polo. I've never seen many pictures of him at horse at all.Royal Fan said:Does Haakon Play Polo? Does He have a Favorite Movie?

pollyemma said:I have a question I've been meaning for a while.
I've read that Mette-Marit used to be a waitress. Did she wait tables when she was dating Haakon? if not, what did she do? did she continue to do this work when they co-habitated before their engagement?
it would be strange to go into a restaurant and be waited on by someone whose face you've just seen on the covers of all the tabloids.
Nouvelle said:Mette-Marit has blond hair and her sister Kristin has brown hair. Is Mette-Marit's hair natural? I've always wanted to know that
Aurora810 said:I asked this very same question a few months ago because I have never seen her hair another color or even slightly another color. However another poster pointed out a few pics to me at that time. So below is the link where this has been discussed it's the first post on the page from MM's hats, headwear, and hairstyles thread. Plus just a week ago during a state visit there was another close-up of MM taken with her running her fingers through her hair in the pic you can clearly see her roots are more of a dirty blonde color that pic is the second link I have below.![]()
