Norway celebrates its Constitution Day on May 17. The Crown Prince family’s celebrations began at their home, Skaugum Estate, in Asker. Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, and Prince Sverre Magnus greeted the Asker children’s parade from the steps outside Skaugum Estate. Thereafter, King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince couple, and Prince Sverre Magnus greeted the children’s parade from the palace balcony in Oslo.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra attended National Day celebrations in Sydney, hosted by the Norwegian-Australian Chamber of Commerce, Sjømannskirken – Norwegian Church Abroad, and ANSA. In August 2025, Princess Ingrid Alexandra enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts program at the University of Sydney.
A bit sad that MM has to use nasal specs but lovely that
ReplyDeleteIngrid Alexandra got to celebrate Norway's special day in Sydney.
Cate.
sad for MM its like the beginning of end unless she gets a donor soon!
Delete''Ingrid Alexandra got to celebrate Norway's special day in Sydney''
it looks like she the only one in attendance, for for the photo.
Ma cousine porte elle même sa poche à oxygène et fait quelques courses aussi sans aide.
ReplyDeleteKing 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.

ReplyDeleteWhat on earth is that supposed to mean?
DeleteShame on you!
Deleteand here we are: the Comment of the Year!!!
DeleteIndeed
DeleteI didnot know the meaning of “ karma” either and looked it up: it has a very negative connotation.
DeleteShame on you! She has made serious mistakes, and you think she deserves this as "punishment"?? Worry about your own karma.
Delete12:58 I agree!
DeleteYou realise this one will backfire, genius?
DeleteHelen, or moderator, can this cruel comment be removed, please?
DeleteGood 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
ReplyDeleteIngrid Alexandra looks wonderful! Such a smart and beautiful young lady!
ReplyDeleteLovely 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.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the Prince looks very handsome too.
DeleteIngrid national dress is very pretty, the detail on the hem elevates the whole look.
ReplyDelete🤡
ReplyDeleteEntièrement d'accord avec le commentaire anonyme 18h42.
ReplyDeleteMette 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 .
On juge les autres à partir de nous-mêmes

DeleteThat seems like an unnecessary comment about a woman who is seriously ill. She merits our sympathy not our criticism.
DeleteJeepers 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.
DeleteSome people should learn to behave as adults. This is not a pr stunt. MM suffers from chronic pulmonary fibrosis, a progressive, incurable lung disease characterized by the scarring of lung tissue. Last year they told that there had been a negative development, and preparations had begun with a view to an assessment for a lung transplant. We have seen paparazzi photos of her using oxygen so give it a rest.
Delete20:10 wretched comment
DeleteSome people should learn to behave as humans not monsters.
DeleteHet kan ook zijn dat medelijden probeert op te wekken door zich zo te vertonen.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not. Her illness got worse last year and will only deteriorate as time goes by. This is the result of her illness. Can we please stop this nonsense.
DeletePrecies wat ik ook al dacht…..
DeleteDear 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.
ReplyDeleteOne has difficult standing - the other has difficulty breathing. Have some compassion.
DeleteOrganisationer har sagt adjö till fortsatt samarbete.Tråkigt att norska folket inte kan göra detsamma.
ReplyDeleteFei for egen dør. Vi gjør som kungen og vändar blad...
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDelete@22:21," her father needs support": Everybody needs support. And for royal tasks, it is primarily Harald and Sonja who need support. And as for emotional support, what you seem to mean, Ingrid Alexandra needs at least that much support - to have some free years of her youth to study and enjoy. Her parents obviously know it better than you.
DeleteNice to see the family together at National day. Ingrid Alexandra celebrated miles away from Norway. Sverre Magnus is a handsome young man.

The Traditional costumes are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe set of comments here regarding Mette Marit’s appearance being staged are cold and lack medical understanding. I’m appalled.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. The commentators should be ashamed of themselves.
Deletei agree. many appalling comments, she didn't ask for this!
DeleteI agree. These comments should not even be published.
DeleteYou are not alone. What happened to the human race? Our decency and compassion really did disappeared with social media. Here we see how low we are ready to go. It's heartbreaking and disgusting to see people stepping all over a woman with a deadly illness in all their nastiness.
DeleteAgreed.
DeleteHear, hear, 05:03! Oxygen is medication and requires a doctor’s prescription. Oxygen is always administered in controlled dosages, breathing too much oxygen is in fact dangerous.
DeleteI find it difficult to give Mette-Marit the benefit of the doubt on many issues after the Epstein-related revelations; however, I do believe her medical problems are real and extremely serious. No person, and no family, deserves that.

ReplyDeleteJag jobbar med personer som har lungfibros.Övervägande beror det på tidigare narkotikamissbruk.
ReplyDeleteJag ser att tillståndet är försämrat,men av olika bilder på Mette-Marit så använder hon sin syrgas lite olika.Har man behov av syrgas,då behövs den dagligen och inte när det passar.Jag tror att de flesta är kritiska och på välgrundade mark också.Nu är det transplantation som är nästa steg och den sista behandling att ta till.
Sjukdomen har progressiv framfart,om hon nu är där i slutstadiet som hon visar upp.
DeleteTack för din välgrundade åsikt.
Från pressen har vi fått veta att prinsessan Mette-Marit länge har följts av en personlig arbetsgrupp i Oslo, som säkerligen är kapabel att utvärdera de behandlingar hon bör genomgå och fatta alla beslut gällande en lungtransplantation.
Hur som helst, oavsett orsaken till hennes sjukdom eller de misstag denna kvinna kan ha gjort, förtjänar hon verkligen inte ett sådant ogynnsamt öde.
Inte heller förtjänar hon de grymma domar jag hade den stora oturen att läsa på den här bloggen, vilket lämnade mig skeptisk och förskräckt.
Domar som denna föds minst sagt ur sjaskiga sinnen.
Den som vågar kommentera så här om denna kvinna ignorerar det faktum att hennes medicinska öde kan vara ännu mer ogynnsamt än prinsessans och att hennes dagar kan vara räknade.
Bara Gud ger och tar; vem som helst kan bli nästa att dö, för mycket mindre än Mette-Marits sjukdom.
De vidriga kommentarerna om denna kvinna övertygar mig ännu mer om att jag gjorde rätt i att distansera mig från den här bloggen.
Nonsense. The doctors have said they don't know why she got this disease and her specific diagnosis is an unusual variant of fibrosis, which may be linked to a broader autoimmune condition. Stop spreading rumours and what you think. Obviously you are not a doctor. Her doctors information is good enough. This condition is a type of interstitial lung disease that causes the lung tissue to become scarred and stiff, making it increasingly difficult to breathe and get enough oxygen into the bloodstream. This doesn't happen over night. The need for oxygen varies for the patient, and as time goes by, the need increases until the patient uses it 24/7. We can hear when MM speaks that she is breathless and have to take breaks obviously her health is deteriorating. Can we please try to be a fellow human being with empathy and respect.
