An official photograph of the family was taken before the luncheon began. The photograph shows Prince Sverre Magnus with his grandparents, parents, and sister, and was taken in the White Parlour at the Royal Palace. Prince Sverre Magnus has been given a bunad (Norwegian national costume) from The King and Queen, and today he is wearing it for the first time.

      Je pense avoir eu de la chance avec mon ordi non portable car en cliquant droit sur les images, j'ai obtenu des photos plein écran ; il faut dire que cela ne fonctionne pas à tous les coups mais peut-être que cela vient de l'appareil utilisé ; continuez à persévérer !

      The King never use a national costume. A bunad has place/city/County association, and King has said he's the King for the hole country.

    Ingrid Alexandra's bunad is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. She looks magnificent (as does the rest of the family, of course!)

  11. All look very nice in their traditional costumes. The young prince is very handsome and favors his mother. It's nice that M-M's mother was present.

    Why isn’t his brother present?
    He was there when the sister turned 18.

    My warmest though belated congratulations on Sverre Magnus' s birthday!
    A milestone in his life.
    He is a real Viking handsome boy, very much in line with the typical average Norwegian man' s height and body structure.
    He resembles his beautiful Mum a lot.
    All of them look splendid with or without their traditional gears👏👏👍
