This just feels extremely inappropriate and very tone deaf.

I've never thought she was as sick as she claims to be.  IIRC, she has pulmonary fibrosis.  I have it, and I work full time.  MM always seems to be able to engage in activities she likes.

yes, but it seems MM's PF is selective. it seems to only flare up to events she does not want to go to or to turn up to work... Snare

nah. MM. not working. your son's news and behaviour is still not good. Dead

I am sorry to learn that you have this horrible desease and I am happy for you that you can still work full time. Can it be that there are different stages of that desease? All I have read about it is that it is a very serious life threatening illness and if it gets into a worse stage you cannot breathe without an oxygen mask.

Although I am not a fan of MM I still honestly find it difficult or borderline to assume that her illness was made up by the NRC to excuse for her not being as busy as other royals.

With all criticism about her handling her criminal son, which I share, this terrible mess about Marius might have caused her health to get worse. Any emotional stress does worsen the illness you have, I guess most of us know that.

That's why I would be very careful in speculating that her absence from royal duties is only due to avoid questions of journalists. Plus, I doubt it that the announcement was made to incur sympathy.

This whole terrible story of Marius including the failures of both MM and Haakon and the whole royal family, plus the police, securtiy members of Skaugum, shortly all who have covered up his criminal , abusive, drug and alcohol addiction behavior for years, will hopefully be investigated by law inforcement and not put under the carpet because it is the royal family.

IMO royals with questionable work histories likely use legitimate medical diagnosis as an excuse to do what they want.  Unlike regular people there are no economic consequences to not "working" so this gives the perfect excuse.  Basically while I do believe the diagnosis is legitimate, I do think that the restrictions are very likely being over exaggerated because she doesn't care to work unless she has to...or at least I wouldn't be surprised if they were.  Simple fact is her official program has never been anything impressive and any "changes" would probably go unnoticed but by putting her diagnosis out there and blaming her health for her light program they can shame anyone who dares to criticize her.

ITA Oh_C. I'd love to see a comparison of the amount of engagements she does compared to other crown princesses, I'd be willing to bet she is in last place or close to it. And that has been the case from the beginning. She had small children at first, so it was understandable. But once that excuse was gone nothing really changed. And now she is ill so excused.

It's a good idea for her to step back for whatever reason. She and Marius should both lay low.

You are right about royals using medical diagnosis as an excuse because of no consequences.

But, regular people also, at least in my country, usually don't have economic consequences. It might depend on your employer.
This is off topic, but:

I had a very stressful experience with a coworker who was ill for three years, never showed up, was diffusely diagnosed with "psychic problems". Once in a while she came to work telling us how exhausted she was, made herself a cup of tea and went off again for months!

Me and my coworkes took up her workload for 3 years and that was a lot and meant awful stress for us. We worked for a public radio and tv station calculating and organizing public events, radio recordings and productions for 5 different musical genres, classical, modern, jazz, historical music and folk music.
If any of us was ill for just a week or two, it caused problems because the job was so specific.

If this woman was diagnosed with a feasable illness such as cancer, or a lung desease or anything serious, we would all have understood and have felt empathy. But we had the impression that she was using us.

It took a very long time to get her fired ( involving the head of personnel department and lawyers and paying her a compensation etc.)  I have heard she found another job which wasn't so stressful and obviously no psychological problems in that job.

Why didn't she do this the first time, because our social system permitted it. And who suffered the most, me and my coworkers and the whole bunch of people who were involved and dependent on the outcome of this person not doing her job.

 Star OC!

the same system that allowed Marius to be as he is has also enabled MM to be the way she is and continues to be.

her ailment has always been selective when it flared up. and never at a fashion show.

I know, I know, mental health is very important and good cause but the optics are tone deaf and bit much at this time.
