    What a cold winter day for an event, but the Princess looks lovely in two rich colors that complement each other as well as her hair and complexion. I love the genuine interaction with the group and this amazing royal couple! Gloves and matching purse add a finished touch.

  2. La couleur Bordeaux va à merveille avec la blondeur de Mette-Marit ; il me semble qu'elle porte une jupe que j'aimerais mieux voir ainsi que le délicat médaillon ?!

  4. These two are one of my favorite royal couples. M-M is beautiful and looks happy and healthy. Haakon is handsome, as always. Their matching blue outfits are very nice. I love to see them together...they have that look of love.

    I really love her blonde dyed hair. A very clear colour. Not yellowish...a piece of fine craftsmanship. Frieda

      M-M is not wearing glasses--she is wearing protective eye-wear as is Haakon. Guess they were participating in or watching a craft that could do something that could harm a person's eyes.

      Look closer. Those are safety glasses. No style, but safety first!

      Humble apologies. I blame my own poor eyesight and you are all quite right, of course. They are indeed safety glasses. However, she has previously worn pale frameless glasses which don’t do her any favours. Safety glasses it is in this case, though. Sorry

    A little fun fact MM has herself taken 3 courses on weaving on the Rauland Academy, and has her own loom at home. Last weak she took a course on the weaving technique Krokbragd. You will find videos on the teqnique on you tube if you are interessted. Right now she is weaving a Telemark tapestry/beadspread/cover, not sure what she is gonna use it as ;)

    That's the cutest most normal royal couple, I think, always so nice with each others and the people they meet and they both wear nice clothes to suit the occasions. MM is very good in arts of different kinds, never forget when I saw her skills in clay art here on this blog. Fantastic! A

  14. Quel plaisir de mieux voir le médaillon de son collier ; en l'agrandissant, je pense qu'apparaissent les délicats signes du zodiaque !
