Will Mette-Marit Wear Norway’s Most Famous Jewels (And What Sonja Keeps)

Now, as Mette-Marit changed her status from Crown Princess to Queen of Norway, I keep thinking about what jewels she would choose to wear for her first official portrait as queen. Would she choose one of Norway’s spectacular historic tiaras—or surprise everyone by returning to the delicate jewels that have always suited her best? Moreover, Norway’s vault actually keeps one more majestic tiara hidden away, would we ever see it again? And perhaps the biggest question is this: what happens to Queen Sonja’s famous emeralds now, would she continue to wear her favorite Leuchtenberg emerald parure or switch to her most personal jewels?
The death of King Harald V on August 28, 2026, has suddenly transformed the Norwegian royal jewelry story. Crown Prince Haakon became King Haakon VIII, and Mette-Marit became Queen of Norway, who faces multiple issues now. So, in this video, we take a deep dive into several possible jewels Queen Mette-Marit may wear for her first official portrait and jewels that will probably stay reserved mainly for Sonja.
