Norway's queen OKs girlfriend

Queen Sonja said Friday that she was pleased that son Prince Haakon had found a woman he might share his life with. This was her first public commentary on the controversial relationship.

The queen said that Haakon's live-in girlfriend Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby was an exceptional person, whom she had grown to value.

Queen Sonja said that their partnership was the best way for Mette-Marit to learn the demands of the role of being a future princess.
