- Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra represented the royal family at King Haakon’s oath-taking in Oslo after Queen Mette-Marit could not attend because of her health.

Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra stood beside King Haakon at his oath-taking in Oslo after Queen Mette-Marit had to withdraw because of her health. The queen underwent a lung transplant in June.
Her absence could become more common at official events, according to Masud Gharahkhani, president of Norway’s Storting. He expects the 22-year-old crown princess to assume a growing role within the royal household.
It will probably be the case that our crown princess will take on greater responsibility in the future.
“It will probably be the case that our crown princess will take on greater responsibility in the future,” Gharahkhani told the Norwegian outlet Nettavisen. He added that people should understand that the queen needs more time to recover.
At the ceremony, Ingrid Alexandra accompanied the king in place of the queen.
We must understand that the new queen needs a little more time to get better.
