  • The state of Haakon’s beard

    Here is the conclusion to the debate around Crown Prince Haakon’s beard. 

     

    The Crown Prince revealed in an interview with Norwegian news channel TV2, that the dispensation for having a beard aboard the vessel, had gone through. Thus, he doesn’t have to shave it off for the occasion. 

     

    His wife is someone who is happy about that; in the same interview she chimed in with that she hadn’t given her dispensation for him to rake it off. It would have been quite the interesting scenario if he hadn’t received the dispensation. 😉 

     

    Crown Princess Mette-Marit also came out in defense of Haakon’s beard just after he started growing it as well. 

     

    A small majority of those who voted in our  poll, thought he should have removed the beard.

  • Beard troubles

    It’s not too long ago that Prince William shaved off his beard for his military duties. Now, Aftenposten reports that Crown Prince Haakon’s beard may be going the same way.

    During the visit to Mexico, he is going aboard a drilling vessel, where beards are forbidden as a security precaution. The Norwegian embassy reports that they have applied for dispensation for the Crown Prince, but that the response hasn’t come yet.

  • Fear of flying

    As she’s about to embark on an Official Visit to Mexico, I can’t help but feel a bit sorry for Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway. Her fear of flying is pretty much legendary among royal watchers and Norwegians alike, and spending a long time in an aircraft, even if she’s reportedly been better in these past years.

  • Norwegian official visit to Mexico

    The Norwegian royal court has announced that Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit will be making an official visit to Mexico, from March 16 to March 19.

     

    With their official visit to Chile last year, Mette-Marit caught the stomach bug, and Haakon had to make the trip on his own. One hopes that they will be luckier this time.
