The palace isn’t responding to this because there’s nothing to respond to. No one has presented any kind of evidence at all other than that they haven’t been seen together for a long time, which is ridiculous because we know why they haven’t been seen together.
And also if someone could provide some information to often Haakon and Mette-Marit have actually sued anyone then I would be really grateful, because as far as I know they have never sued anyone, at least not in Norway.
The royal palace has complained to the PFU, but that is not the same as suing someone. The PFU is a complaint commission that was created by Norwegian Press Association to make sure the ethical and professional standard in all Norwegian media is maintained.
It’s got nothing to do with the judicial system and there are no court cases or compensations as you would have with a law suit.
Most, if not all, Norwegian media are a member of the Norwegian Press Association and therefore follow the verdict given by the PFU if they find that they have violated the standards set by the Press Association.
Law suits are rare in Norway and you need good reasons to come through with them.
This whole thing is ridiculous and it’s a reason to why very few in Norway pay attention to this. I really wish people would have more decency and respect than to spread gossip and slander with no evidence or sources to back it up with. I guess some people get a strange satisfaction in slandering people that has done nothing to them and hopefully that is a satisfaction I’ll never understand.
