Marius, Ingrid Alexandra, and Sverre all looked so adorable! Why didn't Marius and Sverre join the family on the balcony?

I think because they´re both no "Royal Highnesses"...
My personal feeling is, that Sverre wasn´t granted the title to shorten the "hirarchical distance" between Marius and the royal children...?!

Prince Sverre Magnus were probably inside the palace. And in my opinion, he will appear on the balcony by and by, and that he might have a choice whether he wants to or not, when he is older.

As for Marius, he won't appear on the balcony on the national day, since he isn't a member of the "official" royal family - those who represent Norway - and thus have on duties in that regard. And that is what the 17th of May is to the royal family, a duty. I think he rather would hang out with his class mates at his school, eating ice cream and hot dogs and playing games. Which is what most school kids do on 17th of May, after the parade. And I guess he would spend the day with his father.

And how boring isn't it when you are a kid, to stand on that balcony 3 hours just looking at an endless row of kids and marching bands, waveing at them!

I agree, great point. Which goes to prove that the CPPS wants to make sure Marius feels just like the rest of the children in the family, other then IA. They are a great example of how to blend a family and make everyone feel like a valued member. I thought it was great that Marius was with the family in front of their home.

This day is a very festive day for all norweigans and perhaps Marius did things with his school classmates or family. He did leave the family to join his class mates during there parading in front of the royal family.Sverre probably needed a nap - no need to tire out an infant with parades.

I think it is great to see Marius being included. He is a caring big brother and does not appear left out:) I think IA needs to smile more she never looks very happy lol

Marius is no part of Royals and he watch his mother Princess M-M on the balcony by the windows

Princess Ingrid is Heir but he will become Queen after M-M but Sverre is not grant title from his grandfather the King of Norway dues respect but he will known as Prince Sverre of Norway but im not sure he will receive titles yet.
