Ready, steady... hot! Norwegian royals get a masterclass in sustainable cooking (but one dish proves a little too spicy for Princess Mette-Marit)
- Crown Prince Haakon and wife Princess Mette-Marit took cooking masterclass
- Future Norwegian King and Queen were learning about sustainable cooking
- However one dish proved a little too spicy for former waitress Mette-Marit, 44
- The couple tied the knot in 2001 after meeting at a music festival in Norway
As the future King and Queen of Norway, they are used to being waited on hand and foot.
But Crown Prince Haakon and his wife Mette-Marit played chef on Thursday during a visit to a school in Oslo.
The heir to the Norwegian throne and his wife, both 44, were given a masterclass in sustainable cuisine at Frydenberg School where they took a spin in the kitchen.
The couple tried their hand at a variety of tasty-looking dishes, with Mette-Marit looking a little taken aback after trying a mouthful of something spicy.
The mother-of-three oozed laid-back cool in a cosy-looking powder blue roll neck jumper, teamed with black skinny jeans and knee-high boots.

She was also sporting a new wavy bob hairstyle, with her icy blonde locks teased into loose curls.
Mette-Marit and Haakon gamely donned denim aprons as they chatted to young people, their second engagement of the day.
Earlier, they attended a briefing of Kompass & Co, the social enterprise which organised the cooking class, which focuses on sustainability and green innovation.
Mette-Marit, a former waitress, met her future husband at a music festival in the 1990s when she was a single mother and married into the royal family in 2001.

In addition to her first son Marius, now 20, the couple are also parents to Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 13, and Prince Sverre Magnus, 12.
In January this year, Marius announced his decision to quit public life to study in the US.
In an open letter to coincide with his 20th birthday that month, Mette-Marit wrote that that her eldest son's role in the royal family had 'been difficult to define in the public domain'.
