Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway (born 21 January 2004) is the elder child of Crown Prince Haakon and the second child of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, and a grandchild of King Harald V. She is second in line of succession to the Norwegian throne after her father.

She represents the fifth generation of the sitting Norwegian royal family of the House of Glücksburg.[1]

She has a younger brother, Prince Sverre Magnus, whom she ranks above in the line of succession after the implementation of absolute primogeniture in 1990.[2] She also has an older half-brother, accused sex offender Marius Borg Høiby, and has described him as a role model. Norwegian media reported that his influence on her has raised deep concerns within the royal family, particularly given the accusations against him and their potential impact on her values and public image. This concern has reportedly influenced decisions such as extending her military service, which some interpret as a measure to distance her from his behavior and ongoing criminal case.[3]
