LOL - this is just the most bonkers tiara, and she just loves it to bits! Also - MM is looking terrific. Just when you think she can't possibly find another way to wear ruffles she pulls this out of the hat. Very nice, and Haakon in uniform is a great way to accessorise it.

So much fun!!! I bet MM is jealous of it. Then again, probably not. = )
On a side note, I just love the PDA that Haakon & MM have for one another. Whether they're hanging out in the snow or attending a state function, they are always touching one another. Love it, love it, love it!

Batty Aunt Astrid - I just adore this woman, and her antennae!

El Toro!! Or whatever the female equivalent is, lol. Gotta love Astrid's aigrette. BTW, love M-M's ruffles at the bottom, but a bit too girlish for me at the neckline. Gorgeous fabric, though.

@Annie-All the "commoner Princesses"; Mary, MM, Catherine, Sophie, Charlene-they must all need reassurance at times. They all have had their share of mean-spirited snipping, But only Charlene had to face the kind of really vicious publicity that MM faced when her engagement was announced, and I have always liked the way Haakon looks after her.
This is Aunt Astrid's State Visit dress. MM looks like "I know, she's batty-but she's ours."

What the he....? That's, um, INTERESTING. LOL!
Haakon in a uniform...be still my heart! Geez, he's gorgeous. Must. Quit. Drooling.
MM looks absolutely stunning.

Fabulous. I wish I was related to Astrid. She can do no wrong in my eyes.

I simply love Astrid. She has a wonderful self deprecating sense of humor about herself and always looks good, even in the antennae.
