Norway's so-called "crown couple" have dropped their efforts to build a large summer home on an island off the coast near Crown Princess Mette-Marit's hometown. The project had sparked criticism that it would give new meaning to the term "royal privilege."
The decision came after what the palace called "a total evaluation" of the project’s complexity: "This involves the effect on the local landscape, consideration to land owners in the immediate area and necessary security measures."
The palace reported that Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit would continue to look for another summer home on the southern coast of Norway.
