Those, in my opinion, are some of the factors they have considered in addition to the things you mentioned.

I agree. All monarchies are trying to 'downsize' and that is just what they have to do if they want to survive. I'm sure Sverre will be grateful for his freedom when he is older.
Also, I hear now he is out of hospital, so that's great news!

The little Princes is again healthy and was discharged from the hospital around 18.00 and is now on his way home to Skaugum together with his parents according to the Palace spokespersons

Infant prince still ill

Prince Sverre Magnus, son of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, must remain in hospital for another day

The two-month old prince was admitted to the national hospital Rikshospitalet in Oslo on Tuesday afternoon, with a respiratory infection. The prince has problems taking nourishment.

"The prince must remain in hospital at least one more day," said palace information chief Astrid Versto. Versto could neither confirm nor deny that the prince was suffering from a viral infection.

Prince Sverre Magnus was also admitted to Rikshospitalet the previous week, with stomach trouble.

Infant prince home again

Little Norwegian Prince Sverre Magnus has been released from Norway's National Hospital after spending a few days there last week with a respiratory infection

The two-month-old son of Crown Prince Haakon Magnus and Crown Princess Mette-Marit had been admitted to the hospital (Rikshospitalet) in Oslo last Tuesday evening.

It was the second time in as many weeks that Norway's youngest royal had been in the hospital. Tummy trouble landed him there the week before.
The baby prince is due to be christened in the chapel of the Royal Palace in Oslo early next month.

while reading a book on Viking history a chapter on the Vendel Period has this what i thought was an interesting paragraph (paraphased)
"The cemetery of Vendel in the province of Uppland stands on the east bank of the river Fyris. The rulers of the Svear mentioned by Latin writers of the Roman period of being the dominate force in the Baltic, and who gave their name to the later country of Sweden.
This seemed to be a variation spelling of Sverre and i was wondering about the geography, is this area in Sweden or Norway.
