The crown prince couple has had difficult times. It welded them together, because Mette-Marit and Haakon exchanged familiar looks at the festival in Indre Østfold.
Indre Østfold – Mette-Marit (48) had to cancel many appointments due to a serious lung disease. Norway is again more severely affected by COVID-19, but varies greatly from region to region. Oslo in particular is a permanent focus and, with the previous illness, was a threatening situation for the Crown Princess.
The Norwegian royals enjoyed the start of a tour through Norway at a folk festival in Indre Østfold all the more, reveals 24royal.de *
“We have a very special time behind us, so it is particularly nice that we can now gather again and be among so many people,” said His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon * (48) during his address. Usually Mette-Marit and Haakon go on two tours through Norway every quarter to get to know the country and its people better and to get personal impressions. The couple visits four to six parishes over two or three days. In Mette-Marit’s constitution and due to the corona pandemic last year, this is an impossibility.
You could tell by the two Highnesses how much they enjoyed to finally go on trips again and to be able to welcome back everyday life. Mette-Marit has already completed its first trial trips abroad. She traveled privately, as if to test whether she would be fully up to her royal duties again. Mette-Marit and her family completed a visit to Crown Princess Victoria (44) and Prince Daniel (48) on the island of Gotland * as well as an apparently spontaneous flying visit to the Bavarian capital Munich *, during which she met friends.
During the visit, the Crown Prince couple met with young and old for exchange, music and good food at Høytorp Fortress. The Crown Prince also attended the 10th grade of the Trøgstad youth school and, together with the class and the mayor Saxe Frøshaug (58), walked a small part of the old escape route – in the footsteps of those who fled across the border to Sweden in World War II. Crown Princess Mette-Marit * showed great sympathy for the progress made in the Mortenstua School, a fort for children with complex learning difficulties. 24royal.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA
