Mette-Marit's children attend World Cup in USA

Norwegian Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus will be in attendance to support their national team at the Women's World Cup. The siblings are set to watch Norway's match against Senegal, which kicks off on Monday, June 22, at 8 p.m. at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Their presence at the game brings joy to their mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

The Crown Princess, who recently underwent a lung transplant due to a severe worsening of her incurable lung fibrosis diagnosed in 2018, is glad her children can represent the royal house at this significant event. Simen Løvberg Sund, senior communications advisor at the Norwegian Royal Court, confirmed this to the Norwegian media outlet Dagbladet.

Following the match, the royal siblings are scheduled to visit a football school in New York City. Princess Ingrid Alexandra, second in line to the Norwegian throne after her father Crown Prince Haakon and grandfather King Harald, has official duties but her primary focus remains her education. She recently returned to Norway from Australia, where she was pursuing a three-year bachelor's degree in social sciences, due to her mother's health situation. She will be on exchange at a university in Oslo for the upcoming semester.

Her younger brother, Prince Sverre Magnus, who is 20 years old, is third in line to the throne. The Crown Prince family also includes Mette-Marit's eldest son from a previous relationship, 29-year-old Marius Borg Høiby, who is not a formal part of the Norwegian royal house.

The Crown Princess is happy that it is possible for the Princess and Prince to represent the royal house at this great event.
