hibou said:First, nice post Lynda. Jo my problem with Charlene is her behavior when she is with Albert. From what I know of Mette-Marit she has worked hard to overcome her past and has not done anything to insult the Crown so I have not fault with her. Charlene has not let us know what she is currently doing that includes what might be left of her swimming career. She has allowed herself to be portrayed as a party girl in the present tense. Mette-Marit put that image well behind her before their engagement was announced. Smart girl.
Hibou, my answer did not mean your post but the allegation of sriwadee that all other Crown princesses are good women and well educated apart from Mette-Marit. Which, I believe, is not true even though Mette-Marit has a child from a former relationship and was not married when Marius was born. Within the culture she grew up and lives now (modern Norway) it has been socially acceptable not to marry and have a child, so this fact should not be held against her. IMHO. While I agree with you that Charlene so far has done little to endear her to me, but as I'm not going to propose to her I just lean back and wait what's going to happen.... The show so far has been quite amusing....
