Haakon is either too spineless or too full of pride to get divorced. Either option makes him a poor excuse of both a father and a future king. I don't even think he respects himself, which is why he looks like he does  It's probably his pride. He fought a battle for her. He shoved her into his parents' and Norwegians' throat by saying she would be a proper crown princess. Now the whole thing got thrown back on his face. It turns out everyone else is right and he's wrong. He doesn't want to admit it. I don't think pride can sustain a marriage though.

Maria (or anyone) is H allowed to divorce MM? Or he has to stay married because he is not allowed to divorce?  Tak G  I don't think that divorce is on the cards there. MM is too clever and he is too emotionally involved. What I can see happening is that ML is moving back to Norway and she acts like a second first lady once Harald and Sonja are too old because it is impossible to get MM do serious work for a longer time.

Could it be so that there's not necessarily any bigger drama going on behind the scene? As the French dramatist Jean Anouilh had stated truthfully a long time ago: 'There is love of course. And then, there is life, its enemy'... Not that the royal life is all that tedious, but at some point the reality does catch up with each of us, barons and plumbers alike...

I don't even think he respects himself, which is why he looks like he does  I honestly don't know why he should be holding back. There are a lot of "social obstacles" to divorce today, that keep middle class people "trapped" in a listless marriage, but none of them IMO apply to him. If he can't make up his mind, than he deserves his misery. But as you already stated, Maria: he seems to have lost much of his self respect, so he might agree with me.

I know it's not appropriate but could her outfit be any uglier? It doesn't fit her at all

Her sense of fashion gets weirder by the minute. She looks like a member of the Adams family. Does she sleep in a coffin?
