Until this afternoon, the royal house’s website operated with the following categories: The royal family – consisting of the royal couple, the crown prince couple and Princess Ingrid Alexandra The royal family – in addition to the members of the royal house, the royal family included Prince Sverre Magnus, Marius Borg Høiby, Princess Märtha Louise and her three daughters, as well Princess Astrid. The royal house has previously stated that Durek Verrett would also become part of the royal family when he married Princess Märtha Louise. This will not be the case now – at least not on the royal house’s website. Until Tuesday afternoon, an overview of both the royal house and the royal family was available on Kongehuset.no. Now the royal family has been removed. Photo: Screenshot Kongehuset.no For now, the “royal family” has been deleted. Instead, the categories are now used: The Royal House Other royals The Royal House still consists of King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon, Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Princess Ingrid Alexandra. The second category, “other royals”, is slimmed down compared to the previous category “royal family”. “Other royals” consists of the other three with royal titles: Prince Sverre Magnus, Princess Märtha Louise and Princess Astrid. This is what the overview on Kongehuset.no looks like on Tuesday afternoon.
