The princess was there too Märtha Louise, Ingrid’s aunt and boyfriend Durek Verret, making its official debut at a public event within the royal family. Among the guests, there were also 25 boys and girls of the same age as the princess who arrived from different municipalities in the country, part of the Norway of the future that Ingrid will lead one day; 200 total guests.

To underline the occasion, three new official shots made by Ida Bjørvik have been released. And Ingrid Alexandra, for the first time, also wore a tiara. This is the Boucheron Pearl Circle Tiara, received as a gift for her birthday. A very precious piece, purchased at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900. In platinum and diamonds, it was later embellished with a series of pearls. He will certainly wear it also on the occasion of the party on June 17, which will be attended by many crowned heads arriving from all over Europe.
