I noticed that some of you were puzzled by the word "hjemmekino" - it means home entertainment system (you know, dvd, surround speakers, a flat screen tv (or a projector and white screen).

It's not a big thing though (only Se og Hør seem think so), and I don't think it is so strange that they would invest in such equipment, when every other Norwegian does I guess they would use it to show cartoons on dvd

THanks KikkiB! Here is a picture in London, from the Swedish paper Aftonbladet:

When was this one taken? It doesn't look like Mette-Marit is pregnant so it couldn't have been the recent trip.

 

[Pink Tulip]

I think a couple of years ago they moved to London so Haakon could study at the London School of Economics in 2002/2003. So it says in Royalty magazine.

 

[purple_platinum]

this was taken sometime around 2002-2003, when they were living in London

 

[Layla1971]

Thank you both! I thought it was taken then, but I wasn't too sure.

Royal Children

Im not intending to be mean it is just an opinion but I feel that Mette-Marits elder son is a lot more good looking than the children she had with Haakon. I dont know if anyone feels the same way or not? But when I first saw pictures of them, they did not strike me as been pretty babies....like the Belgium royal babies or even the new Danish prince

 

[RoXyGiRl]

Even looking at pictures of the little Dutch princesse...they are sooooo cute....pretty children

I think Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus are beautiful children. You're entitled to your own opinion, though. However, I hope I don't offend anyone when I say that I don't find the new Danish prince particularly cute, either. When comparing closeups of Sverre and Lilleprinsen, Sverre is a lot cuter, I find.

However, Ingrid and Sverre are starting to look more like Mette-Marit. And Marius resembles his mother a lot.

 

[Saragli]

Well babys do grow up and most of the time change dramatically. I never thought Dutch Princess Amelia was cute as a baby but know she is adorable. I think Ingrid looks like her father. I think Ingrid is so cute.

That are some pretty pictures of M-M, Larzen! Thanks for posting them!

Yes, I think so too! When it comes to Marius, I think he's a real Mette-Marit clone! He just looks so much like his mother!

I totally agree. Marius is so beautiful!! Ingrid Alexandra is cute but I don´t find her pretty at all. I hope she gets better in some years when her hair grows.

I like Marius a lot. I think he is a very lovely child. But I also think that Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus are gorgeous. I adore little Ingrid-Alexandra. Marius is a lot like Mette-Marit and Ingrid Alexandra is a mixture of Mette-Marit and Haakon (and that suite).
