This is just fantastic news. Congratulations to Mette-Marit, Haakon, Marius and Ingrid Alexandra. I hope M-M is alright, and that the baby boy is healthy. I honestly thought it would be a girl, but I guess my predicting skills have failed me.  I wish them all the best and I can't wait to see photos of the new little prince. Is there any word on a name yet?

He's the first Prince born in Norway in modern times who won't be king. It makes for a brand new situation.
You have Olav as the most tipped name. Unfortunately, in my opinion, that's also what the O. in Sven O. Høiby stands for...
