It seems that Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit got into a bit of trouble with the law last week, during their visit to Finnmark.

Haakon and Mette-Marit in Finnmark
As is the tradition for the Norwegian Crown Princely couples, Haakon and Mette-Marit visited Finnmark and the Sami people last week. Their visit started in Kautekeino on February 5 and ended in Karasjok on the 6.
Haakon’s grandparents King (then Crown Prince) Olav and Crown Princess Märtha visited Finnmark in 1934, his parents, Crown Prince Harald and Crown Princess Sonja visited in 1969, and now, in 2009, it was Haakon and Mette-Marit’s turn. (Nordlys has a side-by-side comparison of a picture from the two last visits.)
The Royal House apparently has a very solid position within the Sámi community.
The occasion for this visit was the Sámi National Day on February 6.
