The future of Norway's monarchy

[Rearden]

Reading the topic "Mette-Marit at the St. Olav Festival" I'm interested on your views about this, especially if you think that MM's past will influence the future of the norwegian monarchy.

Imo I doubt that Ingrid will be a queen, the monarchy future after Harald looks very black to me

I didn´t hear anything about doubts on Hakkon. But you are right, I have doubts, too, that Ingrids generation (Christian, Amelia etc.) will reach the throne.

Highly possible that the Norwegian monarchy will no longer exist by the time it gets to Ingrid's turn. Although, I hope that MM never gets to be Queen consort.

I hope that MM doesn't get the chance either, well I hope that none of the actual CP's gets the chance 

I've read that Haakon and MM's popularity is not very high but I don't know if this is true or not

I wouldn't mind Maxima becoming Queen consort or Mathilde. Leti I can take it or leave it. Mary and especially MM - a big NO!

Masako should have the chance to be empress and kick the court into the Philippine Sea.  

[Rearden]

The only one I like a bit is Mathilde, Maxima has the personality to be a good queen but her father's past for me makes her lose a lot of points  

The rest....

I agree but even as Empress she wouldn't have that much power. Sigh!

[Rearden]

Now that I remember Maxima will never be queen consort she will only be princess of the Netherlands or something like that if I'm not wrong

I understand where you come from Rearden, but I for myself don't necessarily judge by anybody's forefathers. Otherwise I would have to round up all royalty in the world (and some other people for that matter) and put them under the guillotine.

I don't remember anything saying that she will only be a princess but not queen consort.

I agree but at the same time I disagree  For me a future queen should not have anything dirty in her past or her family's past, if anyone can become queen the monarchy loses their meaning.

Thanks for the info Reardon. I hope that parliament and Beatrix pass the law that would enable Maxima to become Queen consort.

Well if family history is taken into consideration, then there's a double whammy against MM. Her father was an absolute disgrace and frequented strip joints and brothels. He then married a decades younger stripper shortly before he died.
