On April 18, 2024, the Royal Court of Norway released a new official portrait of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit. The photo had been taken last year by court photographer Dusan Reljin in the Great Hall (the Ballroom) at the Royal Palace of Oslo on the occasion of the 50th birthdays of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit. In 2023, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit celebrated their 50th birthday. For the photo, Crown Princess Mette-Marit had worn a new red gown designed by her friend, Norwegian designer Peter Dundas.
Ce rouge attire le regard mais les manches de la robe sont moches.

Froufrou
Wouah, magnifique Mette-Marit dans cette robe rouge ; Haakon a beaucoup d'allure dans son uniforme !
ReplyDeleteThe best dress MM has worn for years, magnificent!! Suits her perfectly, well done!

Oh yes
DeleteCompletely agree
DeleteIn my opinion, there is much more than an official portrait to be seen on this poster.
ReplyDeleteThis is another chapter of one of the most touching, pure and sublime love stories I have ever seen.
Magnificent, both of them.
Pss Mette- Marit is a dream, she is simply breathtaking and majestic in her burgundy gown.
Love makes both shine, no more words needed.
Votre commentaire est superbe. Vous avez vu juste. Une belle histoire d'amour comme il ne s'en fait plus de nos jours. Bravo à vous. Lorraine (ROSE).
DeleteCompletely agree!
DeleteI too completely agree. T
DeleteOMG! Crown Princess Mette-Marit looks breathtakingly stunning! What a statement dress, perfect coloured red, very becoming on her. Love the dress, the hair, the diamond jewels, and the very dashing Crown Prince Haakon on her arm. They both look so Regal in beautiful surroundings. Pia
ReplyDeleteWhat I always love about her is how simple and authetic she is such, the media does not give her the flowers. They love each other and the respect in there deeply. Sh er loves her inlaws, to me that is class
DeleteWhat a beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful couple. I like the dress very much. I think it is the best gala dress I've ever seen on CP Mette Marit. The sleeves are special, but I like it because the "balloons" start under the elbow.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous couple! The robe MM:s wearing is magnificent and the color too. The husband is so good looking! So elegant and so into each other! Ac
ReplyDeleteVery lovely pictures; both of them looking without reserve straight in the camera.
ReplyDeleteThe dark red dress is really regal.
A handsome looking couple and a beautiful dress which I hope we get to see again.
ReplyDeleteI love this royal couple and the Crown Princess MM's red dress is breathtaking! However, the lighting in this photo is off and there are too many shadows that distract from its royal subjects.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful dress, truly fit for a queen.

Gorgeous ❤️ Amazing gown. Suits her perfectly. Haakon is also smashing in his uniform.
ReplyDeleteBoth look Spectacular!!! MM is perfection! MR
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress would love to know more about the embellishments/embroidered motif. The placement of the embellished sleeves fall perfectly on the plain part of the dress just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteTraditional Norwegian flower motif.
DeleteI agree 100% with Lili, they look amazing and were captured beautifully. But I think the photographer did not do a good job with the lighting as there are too many oddly placed shadows, especially in both their faces, I also think the background is too bland and that MM's head is placed oddly against the square cutouts of the door. Not even a single floor vase with flowers to add some color or liveliness. Whatever effect the photographer was going for, I always feel that official portraits have a historical purpose, and therefore should show the subjects clearly, and entirely (head to toe), which they did here. S.M.
ReplyDeleteThe colours, shaddows and the gorgeous dress & uniform give me strong renaissance vibes. A truly stunning portrait! KK
DeleteThe red dress is beautiful. It is just slightly lower around the neckline than many of her other dresses and it is just perfect. Interesting balloon sleeves. The fabric seems to be embroidered. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis spectacular pic reminds me of a famous quote by Walt Whitman:
ReplyDelete" We were together. I forget the rest".
Beautiful couple.

Simply breathtaking. But why do I get coronation vibes...
ReplyDeleteAgree !!
DeleteFor some reason I find this photo very touching.
ReplyDeleteMM dress has a wondeful colour to Haakons uniform!
ReplyDeleteStunning gown and color. css
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be one of the best gowns that she has ever worn, hands down. They both look more like a King and a Queen in this portrait rather than the heir + spouse.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that she’ll wear this dress in public soon as I’d love to see more of both the gown and the puffed sleeves.
Agree!
