I'm fairly sure we can't see his other hand because of his pigmentation issues. He has a very large birthmark on that arm and might be reflexively self-conscious about it.Not only is Prince Sverre Magnus in the shadows he is wearing a dark suit. However, he is wearing a white shirt. Did he have a choice how he was photographed?

I don't see what this is about if he is to be like a middle-class untitled worker in the future and not a prince of the realm sort of thing.
Yes MM's mother is in the group pic.I believe Queen Sonja is also one of his godmothers? Nice that she spoke. Did his maternal grandmother attend? Always a pleasure to see the NRF in traditional outfits, though I don't remember the King ever wearing it.
Was he present at all?Im surprised Marius is not in the family photo, he was for Ingrid Alexandra's 18th photo

"- You have a good and solid life foundation, dear Magnus. Everything is in place so that you can make good choices for your own future. You are technically gifted and have opened your eyes to photography, which makes me very happy, said the queen, who is herself a keen photographer.
- And not least, you are interested in hunting, to grandfather's great delight.
Grandfather King Harald is himself an experienced hunter. It is tradition that a moose that has been shot by the king's hunting team is severed during the parliamentary dinner held at the Palace every autumn.
Queen Sonja also described a fearless prince.
- We all hold our breath when you fearlessly plunge from the Royal Ship, or when you jump onto the trampoline from the second floor at home in Skaugum, she said to laughter from the guests."

It truly warms my heart to see that there are so many people wearing bunad here today, almost all... A bunad is a reminder of roots and your roots, dear Magnus. Of the legacy and ballast you carry with you through your extended family. You have roots in many places: From Dad and Grandpa you have roots in Oslo, Asker, Sweden, Denmark and England. Through Mom and Grandma you have with you a part of Sørlandet and Rogaland. And from my side, you have – visible from the bunad – roots from Telemark. You're a part of all of that, Magnus.
I often think that young people today are subjected to unreasonable pressure. There is so much to consider. So much that draws attention away from what really matters. So many expectations – from society, school, friends and family. And then it's easy to expect a little too much from yourself.
But Magnus, I want to say something important to you and to the other 18-year-olds in our country today: It is good enough to be who you are. The most important thing is to become sure of yourself and listen to your own voice. The ability to empathize with other people's situations and be a good friend is much more important than being "good" at things. I hope you will also contribute to giving other young people around you confidence when it comes to this topic. Here we all have a job to do.
Dear Magnus! You are blessed with a large family that loves you very much and only wishes you well.
Yes, she is! And it was she who held him when he was christened back in 2006.I believe Queen Sonja is also one of his godmothers?
The Bunad consists of many regional and local outfits, which is believed to be the reason why he has never used one.Always a pleasure to see the NRF in traditional outfits, though I don't remember the King ever wearing it.
