Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus: discussion

[rominet09]

The more I see them the more I think they look like a great family !
I so wish I can know them personnally

I was hoping to see some birthday pics of Sverre with the family. But I guess they celebrated it privately... Too bad........

I'd forgotten it was Sverre's birthday. I guess I was just kind of used to not getting any new pictures after the silence from Belgium, Denmark and Spain this year, that I just figured Norway would be the same. Four royal toddlers celebrating their second birthdays and we don't even get a single official picture of any of them!


I know the Belgian royal family is notably private, but we usually get updates from Denmark, Spain and Norway. There were even pictures of Irene on her second birthday, and we would always get a ton of pictures of Nikolai and Felix on their birthdays, and we some of Ingrid on her second birthday. I guess this year is just not the year for pictures.

Last year there were no pics from Sverre Magnus' birthday, so I figured that if they don't release pics for his first birthday they wouldn't for his second. They realease pictures though every year of Ingrid Alexandra on her birthday.
I think they try to raise Magnus a a private citizen, no Flagday on his birthday, no HRH, no appearance on the balcony, no pictures, etc

I think it is a combination of that, and that we'll get to see them soon for the annual photoshoot at Skaugum anyway.

I think, they didn't released pictures of Sverre-Magnus, because they release every year fantastic Advent-pictures showing the children doing handicrafts and so on... Just wait some days...

It was December 12th last year that they released some pics of the family together in their home. So I would expect to see some pics at that time again this year.

Norwegian children start school at the age of six (changed from some years ago, for example I started school at the age of seven.). Then follows a seven year grunnskole, ie. elementary school, three years of ungdomsskole ie. middle school, topped with three years of videregående skole, ie. high school. After the latter comes either university/college, or apprenticeships. All education in Norway is free of charge, unless the parents decide to send their children to private schools, which is not that common, and most certainly not among the royals.

As I suspected it seems Sverre MAgnus has started kindergarden already with no press attention.

Today in chile Haakon says (About Mette-MArit beeing sick, himself and several other having been sick previously)

- This is the way it is when you hav 2 kids in kindergarden and one in school where one is so easily exposed to germs.
