Even if we don't know the details on this poll, that is great news! The couple has done such a great job since they got married, and they certainly earn the grown confidence and respect from their citizens.Larzen said:
Not AFAIK, the press has written about the India trip for a log time, it was supposed to be a state visit by the King and Queen but since the Kings doctors recomended him no travels outside Europe this year, Haakon and Mette-Marit is going instead, but it might be some aid visits as part of the trip, its 5 days afterall.GrandDuchess said:
The locals told the papers it is a pitty the royals cant see how bad the road is when they drive there every day, and that they have gotten promises it will *maybe* be fixed in 2014.
quick tranlsation fromWine - No thank you
Crown Princess Mette-Marit has barely taken her seat before she was offered wine. Quckily but politely she refused it. With a friendly gesture she signalled she did not wish wine for dinner. Wednesday evening she and Haakon was guests of honor at a dinner at Hotel Alexandra. That the Crown Princess refuses wine will in certain german magazines by a certain sign that she is again pregnant. German publishers has admittet they have several time fabricated stories about her saying no than you to alcohol. However most likely she does it because she is working, and therefor usually chooses non alcholic drinks. 70 guests were at the dinner where Sogn og Fjordane County administration was the host. Mette-Marit came in her beautiful Rogalands bunad. That way she dont have to see oppinions on her dresses, wether it is Norwegian design or not, and ofcourse in beautiful Stryn, bunad is the normal dress code when there is a party.
Royal media hustle
- Now is the royal cortege infront of the press buss. We need to speed it up, so they will pul over and let us pass.
Along narrow and bendy roads at the west coast, the royal cortege is on its way to Kvia in Breim. Just behind drives a buss loaded with cameras, notepads and press. The Information secretary have just gotten the message that they are driving behind the Crown Prince couple. That is not supposed to happen. The press is going to be there first. More than 60 reporters and photographers follows Haakon and Mette-Marit on their 3 day trip in Sogn og Fjordane. They come from German Television, UK Press, sunnmørsposten and NRK
Everyone has gotten 8 pages with information that says where everyone is supposed to be every minute. "The media covers from marked spot" ...etc. Twic during the trip the press gets the possibility to ask questions, that Rolf Seelman-Eggebert thinks is splendid,
- Oh it is so easy to work with the Nrowegian royals compare to the ones in Spain and England, you get so close, says the experienced Royalreporter from Germany. He and his Camera team has travelled to Nordfjord to film for a documentary they are making for King Haralds 70th birthday next year. The program will be showm prime time and Seelmann-Eggebert thinks it will get 4 million viewers.
- The scandinavian royal houses are extremely popular in Germany, we dont have any royals our self so we borrow yours, says the reporter that has covered the royals for 20 years. He thinks many likes to follow the royals because they give continuity.
The Crown Prince Couple has arrived in Kvia, the Press buss never got past them, but stops right behind, Everyone wants to get out at the same time.
-Let the photographers out first- says royal reporter Kjell Arne Totland in Se og HØr
He site calmly in his place and waits for his turn. Outside the Crown Prince Couple is passing by hordes of enthusiastic people and flags.
Close, but stupid, conisdering he has already done a geography blunder once, during the Portugese state visit.

I don't know if it's the same as in my country, but in Sweden, nettle soup is a very simple and good (for those who like nettles) soup based on nettles, bouillon/consommé/stock and sometimes also cream (the rest of the ingredients can vary).melmel said:
