The princess chose the education, which entails 15 months of service already in February, the royal family told news. Last month it became known that Princess Ingrid Alexandra is an engineer soldier and a tank gunner, and that she will be in the Armed Forces until April next year. That is because her service position has 15 months of service, and not 12. Se og Hør has written that the crown prince couple have been the driving force behind Princess Ingrid Alexandra extending her initial service. On the cover of this week’s paper edition, which came out yesterday, the main story is that “the royal house takes action” and that the princess is “shielded from the scandals”. Se og Hør has written that the family had a strong desire for Princess Ingrid Alexandra to stay longer in Northern Norway. The Palace rejects this.

The royal house: – It is not true When asked by news whether this is true, the royal house now rejects it. – No, that is not true, writes communications manager Guri Varpe at Slottet in an e-mail to news. She states that it became clear that the princess will be in primary duty for 15 months, and not just 12, already in February. – The princess applied for and received a service position as an engineer soldier in February 2024, a position that lasts 15 months. This, like the other privates in her team and company, writes Varpe. – The position has thus not been extended, but has a duration of 15 months. Varpe confirms that the royal house has been in dialogue with Se og Hør about this. Princess Ingrid Alexandra started the first service at Skjold camp in January. When she met the press last month, she said that she had chosen a vocational education that has 15 months of service.

Four days later, it is nevertheless the main issue on this week’s paper edition, which was also reproduced on the weekly’s website. After news contacted Slottet, Se og Hør changed the last online article last night, and apologized for the error. – We have been contacted by Slottet, who pointed out errors in one of our articles. They have explained this thoroughly, and it turns out that Se og Hør has made a mistake. We have therefore corrected the article online, and we will publish a correction in next Tuesday’s edition of Se og Hør. This is what editor in charge Ulf André Andersen writes in Se og Hør in an e-mail to news. – Princess Ingrid Alexandra already decided in February to extend her service in the Armed Forces, and this has no connection with the revelations about Marius. We have apologized for the error to the Palace, he adds. – We have apologized for the error to Slottet, says responsible editor Ulf André Andersen in Se og Hør to news.

And of course we must correct that. Beyond that, I have no comment, Andersen replies. The article from last week has not been changed at the time of writing.
