Recorded earlier this week, the interview discusses Haakon and Mette-Marit’s role as the next King and Queen of Norway, their work as UN ambassasdors, as well as the controversy that ensued when Haakon first began dating Mette-Marit, a single mother with a wild past.
Here are an excerpt:
AMANPOUR: Did you find a connection to the people of your country by your own experience?
METTE-MARIT: I think the process we went through when we got married was one of the most interesting periods of my life, but I must say it taught me a lot about life and also has given me a lot of strength in my capacity as Crown Princess. But I was very concerned. Obviously, I was concerned for the role of my son in the family, but I think these are all issues that seem very different when you’re outside of the family, when you’re coming into the family, being in the family. I have a very close relationship with my parents in law, I have a very close relationship with my son, so all in all I’m very happy with my life at the moment.
