Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway

[1] She has a younger brother, Prince Sverre Magnus, whom she ranks above in the line of succession after the implementation of absolute primogeniture in 1990.

Norwegian media reported that his influence on her has raised deep concerns within the royal family, particularly given the accusations against him and their potential impact on her values and public image.

This concern has reportedly influenced decisions such as extending her military service, which some interpret as a measure to distance her from his behavior and ongoing criminal case.

[15] Ingrid Alexandra started her 12 months of military service as a conscript at the Combat Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord on 17 January 2024.

[24] In September 2024, the Norwegian Royal Court announced that Ingrid Alexandra served as a gunner on a CV-90 infantry fighting vehicle.

[25] On 19 June 2010, Ingrid Alexandra served as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Daniel Westling.

[30] On 12 February 2016, Ingrid Alexandra and her grandfather participated in the opening ceremony of the II Winter Youth Olympics in Lillehammer: the King, as he previously did in 1994 Winter Olympics, declared the Games opened, while the Princess, like her father Crown Prince Haakon did 22 years before, lit the cauldron.

[31] On 17 November 2018, Princess Ingrid Alexandra christened the research vessel Kronprins Haakon, which was named after her father.

[33] On 20 January 2022, Ingrid Alexandra visited the three branches of the Norwegian government: the Storting, the Supreme Court and the office of the prime minister.

These visits were part of a series of activities Princess Ingrid Alexandra undertook ahead of her 18th birthday the next day.

[34] On the day of her birthday on 21 January, she attended a meeting of the Council of State alongside Crown Prince Haakon and King Harald.

The Princess received congratulations from representatives of the governmental branches as well as the Sámi Parliament, county governors, the diplomatic corps, the Norwegian Armed Forces and the Church of Norway.

[42] Along with her parents and grandparents – but unlike her younger brother Sverre, her older maternal half-brother Marius, and other relatives – Princess Ingrid Alexandra is a member of the Norwegian Royal House.

[44] Princess Ingrid Alexandra's monogram was designed by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark,[57] her grandfather's second cousin who is known for her artistic talents.
