On November 9, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway attended a memorial event in Berlin held to mark the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess then met with the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and the Federal Chancellor, Olaf Scholz.
The fall of the Berlin Wall that occured on 9 November 1989 during the Peaceful Revolution was a pivotal event in world history, which marked the destruction of the figurative Iron Curtain. The East German government announced on 9 November that all citizens could visit West Germany. The German reunification took place in October the following year.

Agree. CP Mette-Marit looks beautiful.
DeleteI am really glad to see Mette- Marit on this trip to Berlin.
ReplyDeleteThe first pic says it all about her beauty, inside and out.
The second last and the last pics featuring Haakon smiling and happy is revealing and goes well beyond any institutional duty.
This is the happiness of a man deeply in love with her wife and proud to have her by his side again.
When he has to attend forced solo engagements , he looks like strained and lost.
She seems to push life into his veins, no matter the place where they are.
Sorry, I do not care about fashion this time.
I want to look at this amazing example of true love.
Well said, P. Nothing to add.
DeleteP. the original. Beautifully articulated. Agree, nothing to add.
DeleteBeautifully written.
DeleteAgree !!
DeleteThank you.
DeleteP. Lovely words / maja
DeleteWell stated !
DeleteIt was wonderful to see MM again, and especially for this engagement.

Prince Haakon and Princess Mette-Marit have a beautiful aura around them.
DeleteYou have well spotted it P. the original.
Thank you, @ Deadeggs.
DeleteYes, they have a wonderful aura all around them, I think this must be the magic of true love.
Fashion is just a side detail in this case.
The visible essence of the love of two soulmates for each other is a privilege and a gift granted to whoever happens to see them together.
@ Deadeggs
DeleteYou know, when I was just a girl and a dreaming one too- I'd say- I happened to read a book about an intense love story but I can't remember the title and the author now.
I was left speechless by a sentence in particular , which sounded more or less like this:
" They met and their souls understood each other".
I was lucky to experience that myself in my life and now I can understand even more the meaning of that sentence looking at this pics.
This Is the real power of love beyond all duties, beyond good and bad.
How nice that MM could join her husband in Berlin. Today are two days in History, one very painful the other filled with hope. I like both her outfits at the 1st one, only the pants were too long. The second one was great love this coat. BTW Pss MM looks very good. css
ReplyDeleteWonderful couple! MM looks very good in both outfits ...and healthy. Her trousers have the perfect length and they are not too wide. Haakon has got new shoes 👍!
ReplyDeleteMM looks beautiful. Love that coat. Her hair and makeup look especially lovely.
ReplyDeleteChel
MM looks fabulous! A line looks great on her instead of waisted design. Her hair looks stunning and her makeup is beautiful. MR
ReplyDeleteBeautiful grey coat.
ReplyDeleteI think her trousers are too long but I like both of her coats (though, weirdly, ALL of her coats seem too tight around her shoulders and upper arms).
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they went to Berlin specifically to be present for this event or if their visit coincided with it. I don´t see any connection with Norway.
Also, I wonder how Scholz could dare commemorating the end of the cold war while at the same time doing everything to start a new one.
I wonder if their main reason for being there was not the 85 year memorial of The Night of the Broken glasses. Lots of Norwegian jews were persecuted during the Nazi occupation of Norway. The candle lighting seems to suggest that.
DeleteI wonder it had something to do with the 85 year commemoration in Berlin of The Night of Broken Glasses. Many jews in Norway were persecuted by the Nazis
DeleteWhen MM met H, she didn't look so healthy as se do today and also more hair! Nice!
ReplyDeleteConcerning fashion: dark blue looks always beautiful on MM, though the pants seem too long. The grey coat is special and nice, but I would have chosen something dark that gives more contrast than a white shirt (see the model). And an unbuttoned shirt does not lend itself well for wearing it under a buttoned-up heavy coat, there is a pull on the shirt that makes it appear somewhat untidy. (GM)
ReplyDelete, It could have been a bla
Mette-Marit est très élégante dans son manteau gris dont le bas est évasé ; bon choix que les bottes noires !
ReplyDeleteI love this couple together: so much love!
ReplyDeleteMette - Marit looks very well & I love her jacquard coat!
Same for me ☺️
DeleteThis grey jacquard coat is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see the lovely CP couple. They are fab :-)
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice couple.I think like Irene, seeing them, you can see love around.
ReplyDeleteOh i agree with you!
