Norway’s Sverre Magnus, Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit’s youngest son, turns 19 this Tuesday. He is a descendant of Princess Leonor, but he is an almost unknown prince. The Nordic Royal House is not ready for much celebration and the situation the institution is going through is even more fragile. Her brother Marius Borg, the son who married the princess before, is being investigated for, among others, various crimes of sexual abuse, which has caused the Nordic crown to go through its worst popularity crisis.
Perhaps because of the complicated situation his parents and brother are going through or because the monarchy still doesn’t know how to handle such a crisis, the truth is that Severus Magnus of Norway seems to have been swallowed up by the world. A year ago, when he came of age, King Harald reintroduced us to his grandson. He most resembles his grandfather and great-grandfather King Olav: tall, strong and very blond. Quite a Viking who had an 18th birthday party that, although it was a public event, was protocolically adapted to his status as second in command. In the future, the one called to usurp the throne was his older sister, Princess Ingrid, so the ceremonies were more restrained and of a more private nature.

This year, Sverre also graduated from school and later, we had the chance to see him again at the wedding of his aunt, Marta Luisa from Norway, exclusive to the world of HELLO! and Hello!, when he won great prominence by surprise. Against all odds, King Harald and Sonja’s grandson showed up for the wedding with his girlfriend. Hand in hand and very much in love, Sverre makes his relationship official with Amalie Giaever Macleod, a classmate from Oslo school who has already landed an internship at an art gallery and made her first steps as a model.
Everything points to Sverre and Amelie becoming the new crown jewels, but the ‘Marius case’ has kept the Prince low profile. It seems the Royal House wants to protect her, protect her and keep her around until the storm subsides and see what role they give her brother who will be Queen in the future era. At the moment it is only confirmed that he lives in Trondheim, a city in the center of the country, and will remain there until Christmas. Princess Mette-Marit herself said that her son has become independent and that he is going to work “but we don’t want to go into details about where he will work and what he will do, but we can confirm that he is gone. And very excited.”
Since then, everything is secret and perhaps this work of Norway’s Sverre Magnus is one of a kind stalemate Before she decides what she is going to do with her future: is she going to join the armed forces like her sister, or will she go to university. It also remains to be seen if he needs his grandfather and later his father to represent the monarchy or if he wants to play an active role. royal or prefers a discreet background to enjoy greater freedom and less public responsibility.
The role of Sverre Magnus is, of course, a mystery. In addition to the Marius Borg controversy, earlier, the Royal House had to deal with Princess Martha Louisa, who had left the Royal House, but still retained her title. After the shaman of Hollywood star Durek Veret began dating her husband, public opinion began to criticize that Prince Haakon’s sister used her status as a royal to promote her business with her husband. Eventually, King Harald decided to remove her from the institution and forbade her to use her rank as princess for his company.
Based on recent movements and with the ‘Marius case’ on the table, it is not clear what institutional role awaits Sverre Magnus. His aunt Marta Luisa lives her life apart from royal obligations, that is, Prince Haakon today has only his wife and his daughter as the most official supporters of his future reign, and Princess Ingrid is still training as a soldier. However, in previous generations, King Harald’s sisters played important roles in the Crown. Princesses Ragnhild and Astrid They served as first ladies during the reign of their father, King Olav. It must be remembered that Olav V’s wife, Princess Martha, died in 1954 when she was 53 years old, and Harald did not ascend the throne until 1991.
At this time, Sverre Magnus is not listed as a member of the Royal Family, but as a member of the Norwegian royal family, as are his aunt, Princess Martha Louise, and his aunt, Princess Astrid. Only time will tell what the future holds for one of Europe’s most enigmatic princes.
