I've got to admit, I wasn't sure about Mette-Marit (like many other people) when she first wed Haakon, but I have to say I've been impressed by what I've seen, she was really dignified and truly looked and acted the part of the Princess and future Queen during the Norwegian royal family's visit to Britain back in November. I'm glad she seems to have been finally accepted by all.
