As Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway celebrates 21 years of marriage with Crown Prince Haakon, see why the 'wild' royal's wedding was considered unconventional.
August 25, 2022 - 16:46 BST Nichola Murphy Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway is celebrating 21 years of marriage with her husband Crown Prince Haakon, but their royal wedding day on 25 August 2001 was unconventional for many reasons.
Firstly, the bride – formerly known as Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby – was a former waitress and a single mother to her four-year-old son Marius from a previous relationship when the couple were introduced by mutual friends in 1999. Mette-Marit and Prince Haakon announced their engagement in December 2000, and they lived together until their wedding took place eight months later, which was considered controversial at the time.
Their different backgrounds caused many royal fans to consider her a modern-day Cinderella, and she even addressed her"wild" past in a press conference held shortly before the royal wedding."My youth rebellion was much stronger than many others. That resulted in me living quite a wild life," she said, before asking for a fresh start.
It was reported that Haakon's parents, King Harald V and Queen Sonja, were actually some of the biggest supporters of their relationship, and this was perhaps proven by their sweet wedding gift to their soon-to-be daughter-in-law. They gave Mette-Marit the Diamond Daisy Bandeau tiara.
