Great pictures. Mette-Marit looks very happy.
I agree. She looks very happy and beautiful. This is just a "wild guess" but I'm wondering if she is pregnant again. There's just "something" about the cut of her dress which may indicate, in MHO ONLY, that she may be pregnant. If she is, that may be another reason "why" she looked so "glum" in Spain ~ morning sickness??

I actually had the same thought based on these pictures - prior to reading your post. Let's stress though, that this is pure speculation
Of course, Chatleen, it's purely speculation, however, I just reviewed one of the threads of photos of Mette-Marit and Haakon ~ and, in one of them, she was wearing the same dress at an outdoor concert celebrating Haakon's birthday last year. I'm pretty sure it was his birthday celebration.
When I saw the dress she wore at the beginning of the Amman wedding ~ the seafoam - colored one ~ I instantly recognized it, however, I had not noticed that the dress was made with lace. (I sort have memorized her maternity wardrobe). Sure enough, in one of these threads entitled "Mette-Marit and Haakon", she was sitting in a chair, up in the crowd, next to Haakon, at this concert. In accompanying photos of this event, (with her in that dress), they lean toward each other, kissing, and in another, it looks as though she is walking on the row (full of bleacher seats?) toward the isle. That was one fact which made me a'guessing.
However, in the electric blue evening gown she wore in Spain, the night before the wedding, I complimented on a message board, how jealous I was of her, losing her "baby weight" so fast to look as marvelous as she did in Spain AND in Denmark in the dress she wore at the wedding ceremony.
I'm not one who criticized her beige outfit at the Spanish wedding ceremony. It was typical Norweigen ~ simple but tasteful and elegant. Mette-Marit is not one to call attention to herself when it's time for "others to shine", i.e. the Danish and Spanish brides. However, she was subdued to the point where I (only) thought she may not be feeling well.
In Amman, she looked bright, happy, and pleased to smile for the photographers ... and, I thought she looked brillant ~ as a guest, a crown princess, a wife, and a mother. She deserves all my best wishes along with the for the entire Royal Family of Norway.
Thoughtfully,
Elizajane

Enjoyed your thoughts, much more elaborated than mine :flower:
If there's any thruth in the speculations, then it soon will be confirmed. Let's hold our breahts and wait and see
