New photos of Princess Ingrid Alexandra taken on her 18th birthday in the Upper Vestibule at the Royal Palace have been released. The photos show Princess Ingrid Alexandra wearing a diamond and pearl tiara that has been passed down from Princess Ingeborg of Sweden, who was the grandmother of King Harald and the great-great-grandmother of the Princess.

The Princess also wore the Grand Cross of the Order of St Olav and King Harald V’s House order (portrait brooch), which were conferred on her by the King on her 18th birthday on January 21, 2022. This became the first time the Princess wore these decorations.

This evening, Princess Ingrid Alexandra will wear her great-great-grandmother’s tiara at the gala dinner to be held at the Royal Palace.

    Ingrid is wearing the same dress MM wore to her first gala dinner in may 2001 when QE and the Duke of Edinburgh was on state visit. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/fc/6a/2d/fc6a2da32c8d7a7a8afa5b9c4e3b2538.jpg

      Thanks for sharing, it’s a lovely dress. Great navy blue which makes the red in her orders and ribbons pop. She looks lovely.

    Stunning photos of young princess. I like that she looks her age (and do not try to appear older with the help of heavy makeup). I love her simple blue dress that lets red orders stand out. Lovely tiara. She looks so pretty, elegant and regal.

    How lovely that she is wearing her mother's gown, thanks for the link anon 14:10. These young royals (remember Isabella of Denemark!) are very smart and forward-looking while using clothes they can find at home. Shopping in your family's walking closet or here rather in the rooms :)
    She looks so regal and calm and beautiful, just perfect. (Just me)

  8. She is such a natural beauty! Nice gown towards the red order and medals, A good choise for the official photos, but I hope that she will use the white gown at the galla dinner. She is lovely with the old tiara!

    Princess Ingrid Alexandra looks stunning! The tiara looks so becoming on her and what an incredible family history it has. Wearing her mother’s simple but beautiful navy blue dress is a very nice touch. Young and Regal, definately 10 points!

    Stunning photos! The princess looks beautiful in the simple navy gown--love she is avoiding anything fussy because this dress is the perfect background for her orders and allows the tiara to be the focus.

    What a beautiful young woman. The resemblance to her Grandmother, Queen Sonja, as a young woman, is striking. Tiara is perfect for IA and is allowed to star because she did not overdo her ensemble with other jewelry.

  14. Stunning picture, absolutely lovely young woman. Mette-Marit, Hakoon and their families did an amazing job as parents/grandparents and so on.

    No matter what this lovely young lady wears in the future, the most beautiful thing she'll wear, is her smile ! How lovely and memorable for her that she gets to share this special time with future queens of a similar age !

    Princess Ingrid Alexandra is a beauty. The simplicity of her gown, hair-do and make-up accentuates her natural beauty.

    Hermosa princesa, tiene un gran parecido con la reina Sonja cuando era joven, me gusta que lleve una corona que tiene mucha historia y que muchas mujeres de su familia la han usado anteriormente, no puedo esperar por las fotos del baile de gala.
