Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit both turn 50 this year. The Crown Prince couple will celebrate this 50th anniversary with five trips they will make in Norway during the spring of 2023. The Crown Prince turns 50 on July 20 while the Crown Princess celebrates her birthday on August 19. The Crown Prince and Princess’ wedding anniversary, August 25, has been chosen as the day for the joint celebration of their birthday.
As a start of their five trips, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess visited Rauland Academy (Raulandsakademiet) in Vinje municipality on March 27, 2023. Rauland Academy is a course and activity center located in the center of Rauland and is the place in Norway that offers the most courses in traditional crafts.
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.
ReplyDeleteLa 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 ?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely couple. The occasion looks very interesting and MM is dressed well for the outing. Edwina
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteI really love her blonde dyed hair. A very clear colour. Not yellowish...a piece of fine craftsmanship. Frieda
ReplyDeleteNice warm outfit. The colors look good on her. Norway still has a lot of snow.. css
ReplyDeleteLike the colour of the sweater. Lovely though CP Mette-Marit is she could definitely take tips on flattering spectacle frames from CP Mary
ReplyDeleteM-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.
DeleteLook closer. Those are safety glasses. No style, but safety first!
DeleteThey are eye protector glasses/goggles

DeleteThose are safety glasses they are wearing not really available as fashion object. Although they are miles bette in appearance these days that years ago.
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
DeleteLove the sweater--color and style are terrific for M-M! Perfect look for a cold day.

It looks so cold, how lovely for the royal couple to make this special visit, splendid!
ReplyDeleteA 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 ;)
ReplyDeleteThat'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
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know the brand of MM' necklace? Thanks a lot
ReplyDeleteLovely, as ever!
ReplyDeleteQuel plaisir de mieux voir le médaillon de son collier ; en l'agrandissant, je pense qu'apparaissent les délicats signes du zodiaque !
