MM is on a sick leave

[hanzo1]

cause otherwise she would have worked?  

oh well:

Crown Princess Mette-Marit had to cancel all her appointments this week because of a neck prolapse that’s been an ongoing problem, confirmed the Royal Palace on Tuesday. She’s been put on sick leave for the next two weeks, and it may be extended.
The painful ailment means Mette-Marit will also drop out of the crown couple’s long-planned official visit to Finland on October 22-23. Her husband, Crown Prince Haakon, will now travel to Finland alone.

“The crown princess will try to carry out some arrangements if the sick leave period is extended,” palace spokeswoman Marianne Hagen told state broadcaster NRK.
She was supposed to take part in a literature tour on board a train from Bodø in Northern Norway to Værnes, outside Trondheim, this week. The idea was to fill the train with books and ride from stop to stop along the Nordlandsbanen route to promote literature. That had to be dropped as well.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit did manage to make an appearance at last week’s quick “friendship visit” from the new King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, whose mother recently abdicated, and his wife, Queen Maxima. Norway’s crown couple met them at the airport on Wednesday, escorted them into Oslo and joined in a luncheon hosted at the palace by King Harald and Queen Sonja.

Mette-Marit has already been dropped from the palace’s official program for the next few weeks, though. In Finland, Haakon will now meet Finland’s President Sauli Niinistö alone, in a visit meant to “focus on the close cooperation” between Finland and Norway.

[freethespoon]

That's what I don't get. Why announce it? MM is more absent than she is present so her not working is the norm, rather than the exception.

It's almost like they finally have a real illness - versus lazy princess syndrome (Mary, Waity, MM, Steph are all chronic sufferers) - so they are shouting it loudly.

Ah, MM... The original snowflake with hair to match...  

[cordtx]

Visualizing a "neck Prolapse" is a little scary
Do you think they meant a cervical disc prolapse??

[tigerben]

Will it make a difference ? And will she actually stay put or will we find out she was in LA or some other hotspot saving the world !

[PeDe]

A prolapsed cervical disc is another name for a herniated, or ruptured, disc in the neck or upper back. It occurs among the seven top-most vertebrae of the spine, known as the cervical vertebrae (abbreviated C1-C7). Although disc herniation is more common in the lower back, the C4-C7 levels of the cervical spine also are vulnerable to disc prolapse as the body ages.


 


so next time if we see her ANYWHERE during her sick leave, and she's not looking like THAT





we know it's all bullshit.

[getafix]

ummm does this mean that MM found her self, and then realised that her new found self got injured while MM was away looking for herself in a Valentino frock in India and now there are two MMs selfs?

When she has to work, she is sick. It had happened so many times.  A few years ago, she hurt her head, was on medical leave for her royal duties, then she was seen skiing  .

[milka74it]

She is so lucky! Feeling bad just after the fashion weeks around Europe finished!

[yaga]

All you cynics... maybe it´s much wrong! Perhaps she needs immediate surgery  - because of facial prolapse!

Oooh there's a good game... what does MM really have?

a) Shortage of bleach in Norway has resulted in zebra hair
b) She's a lazy so and so
c) Gwyneth won't return her calls on the organic iPhone
d) Raising awareness is a drag when you have to visit poor people in Valentino
e) She's a lazy buttwad
f) She gives no f*cks for working anymore. She's retired.

I guess she ran out of luck when Haakon fell in love with her. Either that or she reigns supreme as the queen of bad excuses for being lazy.

Honestly would anyone have noticed?
