    Wow, absolutely breathtaking pics!
    Princess Mette- Marit looks to be wearing a wedding dress in Pic 3, she's fabulous.
    I'll never forget her bridal dress , one of the most impressive and eye- catching gown I have ever seen.
    Prince Haakon is groomed to perfection in his uniform.
    He's a really handsome man.
    What an amazing couple they make!

      She's is wearing the pale blue dress she wore at prince Christian's 18 year birthday celebration. Both dresses are by Peter Dundas.

      Thank you for letting all bloggers know- including myself, of course- that you are a King!
      "A king like me"...you said?
      Am I right?
      Fine, so from now onwards , I will address you as " Your Majesty , the King of "...what Kingdom do you rule, sorry?
      And thank you for agreeing with me at 10:09 though I feel it won't last for long , alas!
      Long live the king!

    Una coppia molto bella, sono i miei “secondi” dopo William e Catherine. Mi piace la loro semplicità oltre alla loro favola d’amore.
    Mette Marit ha uno sguardo sempre dolce e amorevole, il rosso colore così regale le sta divinamente.

    They have also shared photos taken at Skaugum. Including this one where MM just looks gorgeous on. https://www.kongehuset.no/aim/kongehuset2/files/1/b/f/e492ae98d9e1522b195cc7419d6ec6651cd5e4c2a1/1bfe492ae98d9e1522b195cc7419d6ec6651cd5e4c2a1.jpg

    S t u n n i n g ! They both look so regal and comfortable with each other. Official portraits often tend to be stiff, but kudos to the photographer for letting their humanity shine through.

  6. Les deux premières photos sont magnifiques. Mette-Marit y est sublime dans cette robe rouge qui met en valeur sa blondeur ; quant à Haakon, il porte à merveille l'uniforme !

    Great pictures of them together and him alone. The red dress is gorgeous. Love those balloon sleeves. I don´t like the white dress. I don't understand the point of the shoulder band. It distracts from the jewellery and the riband. I would have liked to see the larger tiara with the red dress.

    Ils sont très beaux tous les deux.
    Je préfère la princesse avec la robe rouge, elle lui va mieux que la blanche.
    C'est vraiment dommage que toutes les reines et princesses soient obligées de porter des grands rubans et des médailles, ça gâche leurs robes.
    Je rêve qu'un jour l'une d'elle refuse de les mettre ! ;-)
    Mais ça n'arrivera jamais hélas ! Paloma.

      NO! How many times do the King has to say he will NOT abdicate before people get it. It's not a tradition in the Scandinavian royal houses, and never will be. Just becuse Margrethe did it once people think they are turning into the Benelux . These photos was taken last year for their 50 year celebration. Why they did put them out then nobody knows. A royal court takes new official photos regularly. Has nothing to do with abdication. Can't we please stop this nonsense.

    M-M looks gorgeous in the red ball gown! It's a beautiful style for her and the color is perfect for her.. I would have loved to see her in this gown for the recent state visit. I like the other gown but that piece across the upper bodice/shoulders just ruins the whole look of the gown. As for Haakon--he looks pretty gorgeous in his uniform too!

      Only one of the portraits with the red gown (the full portrait one) was released in April, and it was only featured in the yearly report for 2023 - they never published the photo on social media or even made any headlines about it on their website.
