The prince is one of ten young people who will confirm in Asker on Saturday. Due to infection control, there are limitations on the number of people that can be present in the church.
But the celebration then becomes private.
The list of royal guests at the baptism was long. But on Saturday, only the closest family comes to a private dinner at Skaugum.
The prince, like the other confirmations, can only invite 16 people to church. In addition to the parents and siblings, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Marius Borg Høiby with her boyfriend Juliane Snekkestad, there will also be the royal couple, grandmother, Aunt Märtha and cousin Leah Isadora Behn.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit was already crying when the ten white-robed youths lined up inside the church to the beat of Jan Garbarek’s “The Creek.”
– They will create their own lives
Chaplain Marita Elvemo Sivertsen in her speech emphasized how we talk to each other.
– Some words break: thoughtless, emotionless, bad words, words that hurt and hurt, words that attract you. Some words accumulate: Kind, good words that affirm you, that give you courage and hope, words that make you understand and feel that you are loved.
Sivertsen then touched on the equation about the lost zone:
– This area took a few words. He had thought about what he wanted to say to his father. Perhaps he memorized the words for himself on the long drive home. But long before the area arrives and can say what he had in mind, he sees his father. And the father runs into the area and throws himself at the neck, Sivertsen said.
Then he talked about traveling trolls and looting. That the confirmants will soon go their own way and create their own lives. That they must have opportunities, but also make mistakes.
– Life passes. And we need to know that there is a way home. We need to know and feel that someone loves us well. We need to feel that we are welcome, even despite what went wrong, Sivertsen said.
After the song of the speech and local Asker musicians play the song “Home to you” by Norwegian artist Sigrid.
Then came a great blink of an eye as the prince knelt in front of the altar and placed a hand on his head, while the parish priest Karoline Astrup prayed for him.
Even with the reputation of being the great joker of the royal family, he was a prince marked by the seriousness of the moment who, together with his confirming companions, participated in the service.
Not royal highness
When Prince Sverre Magnus was born on December 3, 2005, he became number three in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne.
At the baptism, three months later, Queen Sonja and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands were among the parents. In addition, royal guests came from all over Europe.
But King Harald had already made a decisive decision for his grandson. Prince Sverre Magnus was not going to be a royal highness. He was going to shape his own life.
Public duties
The prince has had an onscreen upbringing in Skaugum, like Magnus.
According to Crown Princess Mette-Marit, the youngest man is also the great joker of the family. Something that has also been expressed occasionally when he who stood on the balcony of the castle on great occasions.
Because as a prince, you must also participate in public duties together with the Crown Prince’s family on trips, anniversaries and National Holidays.

She has also had to endure special attention, such as the first day of school in 2011. At that time, the older sister, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, was part of the welcoming committee of the Jansløkka school in Asker.
In 2014, she started at the private Montessori school in Oslo.
The same year he also cut his first thread and together with the Crown Prince inaugurated an exhibition on parents at the Museum of Children’s Art in Oslo.

Captured in private
According to the royal family, the 14-year-old prince inherited his father’s interest in surfing. Also, you should love skiing and cycling, like BMX and cross.
Like Magnus, he himself must mold his youth and have an adult life without royal duties. But as Prince of Norway, he shares anniversaries, as when he confirms, with the nation.
Prince Sverre Magnus is interested, among other things, in skiing, and especially in alpine skiing. In 2019, he was present when there was a double Norwegian descent during the WC in Åre.

When Princess Ingrid Alexandra was confirmed last year, it was with European royal doctors and representatives of the Norwegian public on the guest list.
The princess confirmed herself in the Castle Chapel. After confirmation, there was a party at the Castle.
