don't think it's because of lack of time to change. if there arent pics may be because of anything else, but not because of that. come on, she is a princess, she must have time to change. and... don't thin she will attend to a formal gala with everyday clothes. if she went its likely she got dressed for the ocassion
As I said I dont know why there was not pictures of her. Her plane arrived in the evening and the paper (adresseavisen) saw her arrive, but they for some strange reason have no picture online from the dinner, not of the Emperor, not of the Queen and not of Mette-Marit, strange since they have truckloads of picture from every other event. The paper said Mette-Marit arrived in Stiftsgården directly from the airport and that the dinner had started when she arrived. the reason for the late flight was that she was feeling unwell in the morning.
did she went alone with the emperors? wasnt sonja with her at least? don't think it was easy for her to handle it as she hasnt been a princess for long and japanese protocol seems quite difficult and there are lots of rules. (think she managed correctly thought, but you never know... the royal house should have had that into account)
Yes she was hostess for the Emperor and Empress the last day of the visit, she is also listed as hostess the last day on the royal website under photos. Haakon had to attend State council in Oslo as the regent must every Friday and Sonja had to fly to the west coast for two engagements. Mette-Marit accompanied the Imperial Couple to a museum, to the university, for the lunch, for the boattrip and to the fishmarket (brown pant suit) and finally to the airport for the good bye ceremony(blue suit beige hat) there are pictures of it in the tread about the state visit. There were no reports that there was any breech of protocoll, since they have been planning the visit for two years I assume everyone was briefed and knew exactly what to do and how to act.
that's a silly comment by se og hor. all pregant women tend to feel better during the evening
Well I agree Se og Hør is a silly mag (unfortunatly they have the best pictures so sometimes I buy it (of course I make sure noone sees me
) and I have heared of plenty of pregnant woman that does not feel better in the evening, as I said, I guess it varries from woman to woman and from day to day
