Haakon & MM attending World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland

[PeDe]

 

 







Everybody is there with there husbands, the future monarchs

- Haakon & MM
- Philippe & Mathilde
- King Abdulla & Rania

except Denmark.....they send a Bogan

What will Mette be discussing, the intricacies of figuring out the prices of products on sale at designer boutiques?

I believe MM is just there as a companion to her husband. Both Haakon and Mathilde are member of the young global leaders group (she has been since 2007 not sure on Haakon). Rainia is a regular attendee since 2011.

Surprised something Max is not involved in. She is very involved in economics, development and gender with the UN and other groups. 

MM supposedly has taken some courses in London on Asian and African development, and now goes to lectures in OSLO. Worked at NORAD for 3 months

Bigger question, why is the Bogan there? MM is at least accompanying her husband, a member. Freckes is not there. None of her patronages have anything to do with finance or business, except fashion, that I can see.

WTF is she wearing

Yeah, exactly!   I used to know someone, a girlfriend of a friend, who dressed like that... Every now and then she'd end up "resting" for a couple of months when things started to go a little too fast for her...     Actually, the clothing was one of the keys telling everyone someone was not taking her meds.

But hey, MM has such an interesting and quirky style!

we haven't heard much about maxima's involvement with microcredits (same with other royals). i wonder if this is because microcredits have fallen a bit out of favor.

MM is a young global leader as well. she seems to be quite a good networker.

^^^^^Indeed. MM and Mary are both Young Global Leaders ( )
And Haakon isn't one any more. They can only be Young Global Leaders for a period of five years, Haakon has already done his.

I am surprised,one of the few things I knew about her and her work was in micro credits and economic development.

Last year she was in Indonesia and Malaysia ahead of the G20 to discus it.

In 2009 she was a special advisor to the UN in finances

I'm at a lost regarding M-M's skin. In some pictures she has the shiny frozen look caused by too much Botox but in the first few she seems to be about to join Mosh in a one way ticket to old dried up hag town. Given how she looks in some shots I am actually surprised that she can still have so much movement in the forehead region.

Mette-Marits outfit may look a little strange - but I still think, they are the best looking royal couple in Scandinavia these days. They look like a couple, I would like to have dinner with while enjoying the company and conversation. Mary and Frederik? Not so much

Aren't they a little old for "Young Global Leaders."
