    Marius Borg Hoiby - Discussions 2003 - 2020

    As Marius is not the biological child of the Crown Prince he can never inherit the throne. Adopted or not adopted. Only biological children of the king/queen and his/her children/grand-children; Crown Prince/Crown Princess, Prince/Princess are in line of succesion. There’s no way around that...

    Marius Borg Hoiby - Discussions 2003 - 2020

    Legally the Crown Prince cannot adopt Marius as his father, Morten, holds his parental rights along with the Crown Princess. Haakon is Marius’s step-father and his father’s wife is his step-mom. Marius father has been a part of his life since he was born and Marius has always spent time with him...

    Succession rules

    Yes, I agree there are two separate issues, ascending the throne vs acting as regent, but I just can’t imagine the parliament choosing Mette Marit to act as regent if one who was in the line of succession was around to do the same. In any case, hopefully we will never know!

    Succession rules

    The constitution clearly says no one who is not in the line of succession can inherit the throne, to me this makes it more likely that Martha Louise and not Mette Marit would be made regent, but that will be decided by the parliament (see below). I’ve read through the Norwegian constitution...

    Succession rules

    As I read article 6 of the Norwegian constitution I don't think so. It can be read here along with a list everyone who is in the line of succestion: The Royal House of Norway - Order of succession I understand it as the only legal regent in such a case as we discuss would be Princess Martha...

    Succession rules

    I still disagree, and I don’t see it as logical that Mette-Marit would act as regent at all. Only Princess Martha seems logical to me. I suggest we agree to disagree :) I know Queen Maxima was named to act as regent in her daughter’s case, but I just don’t see something like that happening in...

    CP Haakon as United Nation's Development Programme (UNDP) Ambassador

    He does need permission from his security detail and in this newspaper article: Haakons Afrika - Aftenposten about this trip they wrote that one of his bodyguards jumped before the Crown Prince to make sure everything worked!

    Succession rules

    I don’t think so. I’m not sure a Queen consort have that right, or would be given that right beforehand. If I picture a real situation where Kings Harald is dead, and Haakon either dies as King or died as Crown Prince before Ingrid Alexandra is 18, I think it would fall upon Princess Martha...

    Succession rules

    If something happened to the Crown Prince before the King dies, the King would of course remain the regent. I don’t believe the Crown Princess can be regent in the place of her daughter, as she is not in line of succession. It would be Princess Martha Louise who would be regent in Princess...

    Haakon & Mette-Marit's 40th Birthday

    Crown Princess Victoria speaks Swedish, Crown Prince Frederik Danish and the interviewer Norwegian. And yes, it’s Queen Elizabeth 2. They are talking of the Norwegian palace and how it’s a smaller scale than most, nothing like Versailles and the Crown Prince says it’s very Norwegian and suits...

    Haakon & Mette-Marit's 40th Birthday

    The whole interview is now available online. I am not sure if it’s available outside of Norway, hopefully it is. If people want I can try and translate most of it. It’s interesting and gives quite a few insights in regards to what the Crown Prince think of his role and the institution. NRK TV...

    Haakon & Mette-Marit's 40th Birthday

    It’s as simple as this: the gift from the guests is the musical acts, so yes of course they are expected to pay. It’s not uncommon for friends to buy joints gifts; this is just a bigger scale. I’m very happy the press will be allowed to be around for parts of the event tomorrow. I didn’t...

    Norwegian Royal Family Current Events 2: December 2006 - April 2018

    They’re laughing because the Crown Prince had trouble keeping a good pace, saying they skied in his pace and that the reporter is spot on when she says he looks tired. He says Helge (the man he accompanied) was patient with him and that he had no change to keep Helge's level, as Hlege is a...

    Norwegian Royal Family Current Events 2: December 2006 - April 2018

    No it will not. Every year the political party SV put forward a motion to have the monarchy dissolved. Every year they are out voted in the Parliament! The new thing this year was that they had some people from other parties agreeing with them and a new motion was put forward. This one a little...
