Haakon & Mette-Marit - News & Events 2020

Their advent-wreath is very lovely.
And yes, MM seems to have a very good eye for interior design or at least listens to those who have - much in a sad contrast to her fashion sense.

Is their room typical of Scandinavian design?  I really like it!

[Chandrasekhi]

That room is gorgeous!

Every picture I’ve seen of their house always looks like something I’d like.

Ditto! The incredible lightness if being..

"Today we light the third Advent candle and the Crown Prince family wishes everyone a Merry Christmas."

I had the unfortunate impression from watching the video (which I admit appears to be edited in certain spots) that Ingrid couldn't care less, but I think it was her eating a candy or whatever it was, during it, left me feeling that way.  It looks a bit sloppy.     

There also seems to me to be a noticeable distance between Ingrid & MM, Ingrid barely looks at her, certainly not like the expression she has when she looks toward her father.   I always have the feeling that SM is the favored child with his mother, for some reason.

Teenagers can be such terrible creatures. I have three daughters and the third is smack in the middle of this horrid period and No.2 is slowly seeing a light at the end of the dark tunnel...Anyway, even though all of them can and will involve their Dad in a shouting match that usually threatens to raise the roof, they all agree that of all Y-Chromosome-carriers, Dad is the only one exception to the rule that all man are born URGH.
In a nutshell, girls and their fathers are a totally different bond than mothers and their teenage daughters...
