I know they need to look professional but I think the public wouldn't hold it against them if they showed up at these press conferences in their Dockers with a button up shirt and the sleeves rolled up to their elbows.

Yes, good point. While the wives are doing all of the hard work, it would be nice if they didn't appear so very put together and formal. I agree with you on that. Loosen up for sure.

Anyone here knows if the little Prince will have it's own title besides 'Prince'? Also, do they have coat of arms for every new Royal member born?

Wow the baby is heavy! Does anyone know how big IA was at birth? All my children were 3.5-3.8 kg, and it was sure hard to carry!
Iv'e just had a thought, that based on the friendship between CPrince Felipe of Spain with CPrince Haakon, maybe we have a little match between the babies!

No, and no. :p
Seriously - Norway doesn't do titles. We don't have a nobility, and to award the little guy an artificial one would be rather pointless. Ultimately, the king decides what titles should be awarded, but I doubt the newborn will get anything besides the HRH Prince of Norway...
Neither do the Norwegian family do coat of arms for every individual - at least not as far as I'm aware. They have their monograms, and Ingrid Alexandra got hers early, designed by Queen Margrethe of Denmark... but who knows what will happen with this one?

On Friday Haakon and Mette-Marit was tired of waiting for their one week over due baby and they went out to have lunch at "Bølgen og Moi" in Oslo, 20 hours later their son was born

Since this is thefirst baby boy born in Norway that is not destined to be King it creates new situations. Märtha Louise was not the heir when she was born and have not given an oath to Stortinget and can therefor not Preside state council and act as Regent. Juridical Professor says that probably this boy will not do it either, but it depends on the situation in 18 years. Ingrid Alexandra will at her 18th birthday take the oath infront of Stortinget and then she can preside state council alone or together with the King

As mentioned in previous posts, it is most likely happening on Monday. The Crown Prince thought it would be as with Princess Ingrid Alexandra, that he himself takes the photos to be released to the medias. But I guess they are haveing a silent weekend first, getting adjusted to be a family of 5 and having two children in nappies

Ingrids monogram was created by Margrethe for Ingrids christening, she also did the monogram of Haakon and Mette-Marit, I suppose someone in the family asked her to do it
You can see it here

Thanks for the answer. Surprising as it is. I'm from Spain (but live in the USA) and the idea of an European Kingdom with no titled nobility or a office structured to grant arms is kind austere. I hope that when new Dad Haakon gets his turn for the throne he " monarchizes" the office of the monarchy a little more. Titles could be given as a form of national recognition for services to the country.
