When did she break her leg? I never knew she had.

 

[norwegianne]

She broke it the first year they were married, I think it was. They were skiing, and she had an accident. Unfortunately for her, that year she also had other illnesses to worry about. She had either phneumonia or bronchites (I can't remember which one at the top of my head) and she had that unfortunate incident with the German television crew that resulted in a major case of sunburn.

Yes, I saw the pictures of the sunburn...Looked pretty painful...It had something to do with the lighting?

She had a bad case of pneumonia. Sha was hospitalized for a while.

Mette-Marit is quite lovely. She and Haakon have a very natural quality as a couple. I hope they will be happy for many years to come!

 

[Josefine]

Lovely Mette Marit!!!!!! She's been so wonderful, as to be expected (she is after all, Haakon's choice). She is so understated and even if she might not look it, she has been extremely strong considering what her father and criticisms she has had to endure. No other crown princesses has ever endured so much as Mette Marit. Not Letizia, not Maxima, Mary or Alexandra. Some of those I mentioned have had their share of critics, but none as concerted nor on-going as that directed against Mette Marit. But she never lets it show ... she's always smiling.

I think that Ingrid Alexandra will grown up to be an excellent person. Hopefully she will be forgiving, sympathetic and all round wonderful. Her parents will certainly help her in that.

I agree with you completely. Mette-Marit has had the most difficult road in her role as Crown Princess. Alot of aggression at her from many directions. And what does Norway now have, the most down to earth, modern and classy of the Crown Princesses of Europe. She has never made a misstep and deserves all the nice things in her life. Norway should be proud of her, and support her. She will hardly bring down the monarchy.

I as a "Norwegian" Is very proud to have her as my new home countrys crown Princess!

 

[Christo's Girl]

Mette-Marit reminds me so much of Gwyneth Paltrow. Both have that slim, blond classy look. In fact do they not know each other and are friends?

 

[Royal Fan]

lol she reminds me of Amy Poeler from SNL (not that thats bad )

 

[Katrianna]

Thank you to all who have posted pictures. A lot of them I've never seen before. Mette-Marit has gotten prettier as the the years have gone by. I admire her because she's risen above the criticisms and sniping. She strikes me as a very sincere and down-to-earth person. I think this has been answered elsewhere in this forum, does Mette-Marit still smoke?

 

[Aussie Princess]

I think she gave up after she got pnemonia, and then she was pregnant again with Ingrid Alexandra.
I love all the photos of Mette-Marit and Haakon together, they are really sweet. Family pictures, and just pictures of them meeting children are always particulary lovely too!
Sometimes I think Mette-Marit looks just like any average woman, but so many pictures I see of her that make me go WOW, that you don't with the other Crown princesses
