Following in the footsteps of her in-laws, Norway’s Mette-Marit arrived in Switzerland Thursday to go train with her country’s military. 
She is the latest European Crown Princess to go through training for a military position.
Mette-Marit went through such exercises as movement in difficult terrain and under extreme weather conditions. She will also receive a briefing about safety and possible evacuation of people – with leadership, communication, order, and guard in the interaction between multiple actors.
Other members of the Norwegian royal family have officer position in the military.
King Harald is the supreme leader of the military, and a four star general. His wife, Queen Sonja, is a brigadier.
Mette-Marit’s husband, Crown Prince Haakon, trained in the navy, and is also an officer.
Last year, Denmark’s Crown Princess Mary qualified as a lieutenant for the Danish Home Guard. In 2003, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden completed a boot camp course which would help her be a head of the Swedish military when she becomes Queen.
