Marius and Haakon look very close from pictures. Looking at the August pictures, Marius looked very comfortable sitting near Haakon.

Hey just a quick note- I've started a Yahoo! group dedicated to Ingrid. It's called HRHIngridAlexandraOfNorway. New members are always welcomed!
How can I access your Yahoo!Group?

There was a Norwegian queen named Ingrid. (Also one named Ingerid.) Mette-Marit's paternal grandmother was also named Ingrid.

Alexandra is from Alexander, which was the one of King Olav's four names that he was known as before he became Olav. It is also the name of his maternal grandmother, and one of the names of Princess Ragnhild.

I believe that Haakon treats Marius like his own son. I remember reading a quote from him quite recently where he said that he'd love more children, but he's very happy and content with the two children he has now. So I guess he considers Marius as good as his own, which is very sweet to see.

Found some pics that might haven't been posted (I hope)...

Ingrid Alexandra is probably the cutest baby I have ever seen. She is so perfectly formed, like a doll. I think I'll call her "doll face"...:)

She is also named after queen Ingrid of Denmark.
Alexander was his first name but after they moved to Norway Alexander ´was given the name Olav by his father, and his father took the name Haakon instead of Carl.

I don't think Haakon and Mette-Marit's daughter is named after the late Danish Queen Ingrid. I think it was more likely after the Norwegian Queen and familial reasons.

I didn't think there was any social connection or significance of Haakon to Denmark's Queen Ingrid (such as he was not her godmother or anything of that sort) other than the connection between the Scandinavian monarchies.

Ingrid Alexandra has fallen victim to the German tabloid, reports VG http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=101297

They claim that the Norwegian people, and the Crown Prince couple, are very concerned about the fact that Ingrid Alexandra has so little hair, and worries that it is some mystical disease. The German tabloid/magazine cites no real source in the article.

A doctor for children that VG asked, said that little hair was normal at that age, and nothing to worry about.

The Palace says they are aware of the rumours.

What a horrible, attrocious story. Now they are picking on an innocent little child who isn't even a year old yet?

It's one thing when the tabloids pick on Ingrid Alexandra's parents. I don't necessarily like it then either, but at least they are adults and can defend themselves (or not defend themselves). But Ingrid Alexandra is so small and defenceless.

I guess the saving grace is that she is too young to understand these ridiculous petty attacks on her.

Lord, it's perfectly normal. I didn't have any hair at all when I was a year old.

I don't speak German, is there an english version of the article? But even without reading it, I agree it is horrible to start rumours about a 10 month old child!!

Here's an article in English discussing it. I have no idea if the original German article has been translated.
