See and Hear has been in contact with the Palace’s communications manager, Guri Varpe, who states that they do not comment on the royal family’s private program.
After a big uproar on Friday, Vanessa’s close friends, Synnøve Skarbø (51) and Pia Tjelta (44), took the ready-to-marry Stavanger woman to Stockholm the next day – for a calmer end to the bachelor party.
Mette-Marit was not there, but there is no doubt that the Crown Princess is a good friend to several in Vanessa’s circle of friends.
When Synnøve participated in “Skal vi danse” in 2020, Mette-Marit and Vanessa sat together in the hall – and the Crown Princess did not hide on Instagram that she clapped extra for the fireworks from Stranda.
Mette-Marit is also a big fan of Pia Tjelta and not least her creations, and you can safely call the actress and clothing artist from Stavanger the crown princess’ favorite designer.
She has appeared in Pia Tjelta design a number of times, most recently during the royal family’s magnificent dinner for Norwegian athletes at the Palace on 12 May. Then Mette-Marit shone in Tjelta’s «Ivy dress», in the color nude with a bird pattern.
– Mette-Marit is the most beautiful in the world. She has an enormous dignity and elegance, and it is incredible that she chooses to wear my dresses, Pia Tjelta has previously stated to Se og Hør.
No one will probably be surprised if the Crown Princess once again shines in her friend’s design when she allegedly takes part in the wedding party in Paris this weekend.
Both Pia and Vanessa have in turn been guests in Mette-Marit’s annual birthday service which is held in the Castle Chapel in Oslo. Only those closest to you are invited.

Left the room
The future groom, Jonas Forsang, on the other hand goes far back in relation to Crown Prince Haakon.
The 41-year-old from Oslo was one of those who stood up and defended the Crown Prince when he was incited the most from the stage during a packed Norwegian Hood concert at Rockefeller in Oslo just before Christmas in 2002.
– Fuck the Crown Prince – and to hell with the monarchy! sounded the powerful message from rappers Aslak and Elling Borgersrud.
The brothers in Gata’s Parliament also encouraged the audience to participate verbally in the incitement, and in the end, Crown Prince Haakon chose to leave the venue.

Stood up for Haakon
Afterwards, rappers and hip hop artists circled around the heir to the throne – among them Jonas Forsang – at the time known as the rapper Apollo. Together with artist colleagues, he wrote a letter of apology to Crown Prince Haakon.
– Do not misunderstand! We respect Gatas Parliament, as friends and colleagues. They are politically conscious, and we do not care what they think about the monarchy. On the other hand, we strongly dissociate ourselves from all forms of personality of Crown Prince Haakon. He does not deserve that, Jonas – alias Apollo – stated and deepened his apology to VG.

– The artists felt depressed and uncomfortable on behalf of the Crown Prince. In the media, it looked like the whole hip hop community was inciting “Krompen”. That is completely wrong. Haakon is amazing. Totally awesome. I have even observed him present at several hip hop jams while most of us were totally unknown, he continued.
– He buys albums and singles. In this way, he has shown his support for an environment that has not received too much attention until now. With all due respect to “Krompen”, Apollo stated.
