      King Harald moves with visibly great difficulties, but if he decides to show himself publicly, then he is moving alone and with great dignity. This prevents evoking pity by shifting attention to the difficulties instead of the person. In Mette-Marit's special case, the same attitude would be of eminent importance to be or remain credible.

      I didnot know the meaning of “ karma” either and looked it up: it has a very negative connotation.

      Shame on you! She has made serious mistakes, and you think she deserves this as "punishment"?? Worry about your own karma.

  4. Good to see them but sad that CPMette-Marit’s health has declined so much. Lovely of her to make the effort. Great to see Princess Ingrid Alexandra celebrating in Sydney

    Lovely photos and the brooch on MM is beautiful. Prince Sverre Magnus is wearing a style I haven’t seen before, but it’s full of beautiful details and he looks very handsome, especially standing with the family dog bedecked with a bow in national colors.

    Ingrid national dress is very pretty, the detail on the hem elevates the whole look.

    Entièrement d'accord avec le commentaire anonyme 18h42.
    Mette Marit est certes malade, mais je pense qu'il y a mise en scène de sa part et du service communication pour apitoyer l'opinion publique .

    3. That seems like an unnecessary comment about a woman who is seriously ill. She merits our sympathy not our criticism.

      Jeepers 20:10 but that’s a cold hearted interpretation of a person sick enough to need supplemental oxygen and a chair to sit for corresponding fatigue.

    Het kan ook zijn dat medelijden probeert op te wekken door zich zo te vertonen.

    Dear Anonymous 18:42, thank you for your excellent comment illustrating the difference between King Harald’s courageous and diligent approach to duty and Mette Marit’s presentation.

      One has difficult standing - the other has difficulty breathing. Have some compassion.

    Organisationer har sagt adjö till fortsatt samarbete.Tråkigt att norska folket inte kan göra detsamma.

    I think it is time for Ingrid to come home to study. The royal house needs her presence, aging grandparents, seriously ill mother. Her father needs her support.

    Nice to see the family together at National day. Ingrid Alexandra celebrated miles away from Norway. Sverre Magnus is a handsome young man.

    The set of comments here regarding Mette Marit’s appearance being staged are cold and lack medical understanding. I’m appalled.
