Look how young Mette-Marit and Haakon are in the photo. I'm not going to mention recent events. I had serious doubts about MM and the marriage, but I ended up kind of eating my words and doubts.

I think MM has done a wonderful service to her position as Crown Princess, which genuinely pleased me since I had her based on her past, which was wrong. I admired her at the pre-wedding interview when she stepped up and admitted her past behavior and owned it. She worked at getting over her younger days.

I got flack for liking her way back when. Has she made some missteps? Yes. Is her fashion sense hit or miss? Definitely. Does she love her family and does her best for Norway? Yes. Do I still like her? Yes!

I remember that Princess Ragnhild opposed his engagement, but the marriage has worked out well.
