Ingrid of Norway, the “hipster” princess who works in a school

Putting aside tiaras and gala dresses, modern princesses live more than normal lives, like those of many girls of their age. It’s no exception Ingrid of Norway, seen last October 15th at the dinner for Christian of Denmark’s 18th birthday. At the same table as Queen Margrethe II, the 19-year-old eldest daughter of Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit, she certainly did not go unnoticed, but she was certainly much more so on the streets of Grünerløkka, the neighborhood of Oslo where she recently moved.

After completing her studies at Elvebakken Upper Secondary School last April, Ingrid now works as a school assistant at the Uranienborg School, the same primary school she attended as a child, but it is a job that will last for a few months. The Royal House, in fact, recently made it known that in January 2024 the princess will begin her military career, following a path similar to that of his father Haakon at his same age.

The first year of training will be at the Engineer Battalion of the North Brigade. A commitment that will take her to the small base of Skjold, located in the village of Øverbigd, in Finmark. A fundamental moment, already touched by Elisabeth of Belgium and Leonor of Spain: the future queens will one day also be heads of the Armed Forces of their countries.
