On January 25, Crown Princess Mette-Marit opened the Norwegian guest country program and the Norwegian pavilion at the Cairo International Book Fair 2024. At the fair, Norway will present a broad program aimed at both the general public and the book industry, with a major focus on children's and youth literature.
On January 25, 2024, Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide met with representatives of humanitarian organizations that have worked inside Gaza. The meeting took place in the Norwegian embassy residence in Cairo. Then, Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended a reception at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Cairo.
Ah so glad to see the Crown Princess back! Hope she has sorted her health issues completely, she is a lovely person.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the illness Mette-Marit has, she will never recover from. She will only get worse as time goes on. Let's hope she will still have more good days than bad days ahead. Agree she is a warm, empathic and lovely person.
DeleteShe has a long term health issue, but the warm weather in Cairo will do her some good.
DeleteWhile i don’t always like her choice of outfits, i find her pretty and really lovely. She is a natural beauty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see her back!
Princess Mette Marit looks very beautiful, it is unfortunate that she is very ill - she sometimes seems very burdened.
ReplyDeleteShe's not burdened. It's because she is empathic so she is easily moved by the people she meet, and the stories she hear. She has said it herself this illness has cured her fear of death. Mette-Marit:-You feel very hurt when you don't get to do the things you want to do. - Among other things, is that I have developed a fear of going up hills. It's like the most absurd things, I get embarrassed when I breathe a lot, for example into the microphone. Then I get super stressed. So I think it has changed the way I live my own life. I live much more sedate now. Haakon said in his new book: - She has many good days. But the uncertainty is always there. Do we have to cancel? We do not know. It's a part of life, that too, illness, and dealing with the difficulties, together.
DeleteVery ill???What's the matter?
DeleteShe has chronic pulmonary fibrosis.
DeleteAnon 08:21 she has systemic sclerosis with pulmonary fibrosis. A chronic autoimmune disease.
DeleteThanks for sharing her illness, i know she is sick but unsure what, and no clue it’s that severe. Sad to hear, she is such a warm and nice, a genuinely lovely person, committed to her role. Wish her the best and fingers crossed she’s keeping well 🙏
DeleteDespite all this, the Crown Princess comes back to her duties and herself and the Crown Prince do not take 3 months of sick leave. Well done to her! A very courageous person with warm personality and smile. Wish her well.

Delete18:07 how rude.
DeleteTalk about being snarky. If you have to talk down a person for giving information there is something wrong with you. Try a little decency ano 1807. Information is never wrong. Louise 👏👏👏 thanks for the in put, not all of us get to hear what they say themselves. Sarah S.
DeleteAnon 18.07 here, not rude but sometimes if feels like we have representatives from some royal households commenting here.
DeleteOh my! The black jacket paired with the summery white cotton dress is a flat out no. M-M looks good in both pieces but they do not work together. M-M can't carry off those wide-leg trousers any better than everyone else--but at least her height helps look better. Again, the pairing of the blouse with the trousers is a no but I do really like the blouse. The yellow dress is very pretty and looks lovely in it. I'm glad she's well enough to resume her work because she seems to love it.

Nonsense,
DeleteNonsense, both pieces work very well together, she look comfortable and wonderful. Would love to see more of the yellow dress.
DeleteCome on Anon, everyone has different opinions. Let it be!
DeleteL.
Well Janet, I disagree. Don't see a problem. -Anna
DeleteShe a beautiful Princess. She looks well and healthy.
ReplyDeleteLove, love the yellow dress. Perfect for a classic lady.
ReplyDeleteSur les premières photos, Mette-Marit est jolie dans sa robe légère en coton au petit col officier ; elle a su la porter avec une sorte de gilet/veste à franges ; je suis moins fan des autres tenues. Sa coiffure avec la raie sur le côté lui va particulièrement bien !
ReplyDeleteI like the first outfit very much and the unbuttoned neck and v-shaped jacket fits her so much better than her usual tight round necklines. That is why I would also like to see the last dress unbuttoned or cut open. I don´t like the colour of the pants nor the combination of colours but the blouse itself is ok.
ReplyDeleteMM's outfits all show her sense of style and look lovely on her. The fringe jacket fits well with the whimsical pattern of the dress. Edwina
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to see her. Love the pants and the dress not a fan of the style of this jacket. css
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy to see this Norwegian jewel on her trip abroad!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you, gorgeous Princess.
I love the 7th pic in particular, absolutely beautiful in every single way.
Excellent sartorial choices, well done indeed.
