Ingvald Mareno Smith-Kielland (20 September 1919 – 9 May 2012) was a Norwegian royal servant.
[4] When King Olav V died in early 1991, Smith-Kielland saw the opportunity to retire and was succeeded by Kaare Langlete.
[5] In the beginning of the year, the entire court of the Norwegian royal family comprised as little as nine people: Smith-Kielland, Langlete, Gunerius Flakstad, Ingegjerd Løvenskiold, Magne Hagen and Barbara Iliff.
[6] In June 1991 Smith-Kielland was decorated with the Grand Cross of the Royal Norwegian Order of St.
[7] In 1994, Verdens Gang noted that only seven non-royal Norwegians—all men—held the Grand Cross: Ingvald M. Smith-Kielland, Folke Hauger Johannessen, Herman Fredrik Zeiner-Gundersen, Rolv Ryssdal, Thor Heyerdahl, Per Aabel and Helge Ingstad.
