what a beautiful example of adults putting the child first. its a shame all step families can't be so fortunate and have this unconditional love. Marius is a lucky little boy and i bet he grows up to make them all proud.

I was reading a interview where Haakon talked about Princess Ingrid and how he will raise all the children the same. He included Marius in this. He said he has learned a great deal about fatherhood from Marius. He said he already had two kids, so three wouldn't be an issue. I think it is great that Marius has the chance to be a part of such a great family, regardless whether they are royalty or not.

I think if Marius calls Hakon ''Uncle'' is more appropriate than Papa or Mr.

I don't think that lots of kids call their stepfather "uncle". After all, their position is that of a stepFATHER, not stepUNCLE. From my friends I know that
for stepfathers, mostly their first name is used to address them.

[sm1939]

thats what my friends step children call them " by there first name"
uncle is just plain wired!!!

If the Crown Prince of Norway wants his stepson to call him by his first name, it should be the best, as surely the Crown Prince is aware of his country's habits, his family's opinion and his own personal preference. If he deems it appropriate, who are we to say, "no, it's not"?

Just wondering.... :)

Some scans for Norwegian magazine Se og Hoer of Marius in a slalom competition in Baerum, Norway last Saturday. His both dads were stood together at the finish-line and followed him during the raise. According to Se og Hoer did the Crown prince help Marius inspects the race course before start.

Marius was with Haakon and Mette-Marit to Holmenkollen Sunday for the ski-jump competition. The image shows Haakon and Marius shearing a chocolate bar.

Now Marius is a pro
It's soo good to watch such a loving family, Marius has two fathers who adore him and a big family, lucky kid.
Haakon is an example to many men who don't even love their own "flesh" kids, good for him

[kwanfan]

It is really wonderful to see such an amicable relationship between Haakon & Mette-Marit, and Morten Borg. They are a great example for blended families. Marius looks like a pro on the ski course!

[monica]

Marius is a very beautiful and fortunate boy !!!

[lise]

Does anyone know how Marius went in the slalom competition?
It looked like fun.

He's a lucky boy to have a blended family that get along. I have friends who have blended families that don't get along and they are constantly unhappy because of it.

[andr]

I think he was nr 31.

How do you read the results?

[andr]

There are no winners in sports in norway before the children is about 12 years. They just get a time and won't be rankt after it. As I said. I think Marius was about nr 30 - 20 sec behind the best time.

[Karisma]

I´m sure Maurius call Haakon by his name. Norway is the most modern Monarchy in the world and I´m sure they don´t make things more difficult then necessary.

I think that's a good system. Marius can go out there and have fun without worring about winning or losing.

And Marius gets all the practice he wants, so by the age of 12 he'll be a real pro

[andr]

Marius calls Haakon - Haakon and Morten Borg - Dad. I've seen it on tv several times.

[nayralorenzo]

I have seen him calling Haakon, Haakon. This is a normal thing.

[Aussie Princess]

I agree, first names is the normal thing. my father and his brother called their step grandfather 'uncle' though
