On Friday, Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended events focusing on reading and literature in Lillehammer. She first visited Nordre Ål School where she took part in writing Friday letters, an activity the school uses so that the children learn from a very early age to put letters and words together to express what is on their hearts.

Afterward, she attended the conversation "The road to authorship" between Argentine-American Hernan Diaz and Danish Solvej Balle hosted during the Norwegian Literature Festival.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore a shirt dress with nude pumps, a Paloma van den Akker bag, and her Cartier ring.
