Prince Sverre Magnus News & Current Events Part 1: December 2023 -

I don’t know for sure, but I think it is more likely that it is his choice.

Norwegian royal expert Carl-Erik Grimstad stated in 2009 that no Norwegian authority has ever ruled on whether a royal title is part of a name.

Moreover, Norwegian royal expert Dag T. Hoelseth has pointed out that even though the Name Law requires everyone to have a surname, and there is no exception in the law for titled people, the authorities nevertheless allow the royals to not register any legal surname.

So, even when the legal requirements are clear (I don’t know whether there is a legal requirement to use one’s legal name in a business registration), the authorities are willing to allow royals to technically break the law.

King Harald did say that as his daughter Martha Louise is a Princess. Basta. This heavily indicates the family's belief that the title is a given and inseparable part of the name, style, title... call it what you want, of some descendants of the Royal family.

Yes, indeed. But does he still allow her to use her title in her businesses' paperwork?

Yes.

Or maybe he has a health condition that makes him not eligible to serve.

I don't know how it works in Norway, but there are other countries with mandatory conscription where not all 18-year-olds actually serve. Depending on the country, even trivial things like poor vision might disqualify a candidate.

In other words, enrollment is mandatory (you cannot fail to show up for registration and inspection), but that doesn't mean you will be necessarily called up.

In that case it's not a choice. I was replying to a comment he could choose not to simply based on not wanting to serve. Disqualified is whole other matter.
