Ingrid Alexandra Makes Peace Nobel Debut as Haakon Attends Oslo Banquet Solo

The scaled-back lineup underscores Ingrid Alexandra’s growing public role.

Overview

  • Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 21, made her first appearance at the Oslo Peace Prize ceremony honoring Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado after bringing forward her university break in Sydney.
  • She joined a Save the Children Norway presentation at 11:30 a.m. ahead of the 1 p.m. ceremony at Oslo City Hall.
  • Crown Prince Haakon is expected to represent the royal family alone at the evening banquet at the Grand Hotel, according to multiple reports.
  • The palace cited Crown Princess Mette-Marit's chronic lung disease as the reason for her absence from the dinner.
  • King Harald and Queen Sonja will also skip the banquet, which coverage connects to the monarch’s reduced public role in recent years.
