Royal Role and Succession

The rules for who becomes king or queen of Norway changed in 1990. This change meant that the oldest child, whether a boy or a girl, would inherit the crown. However, Crown Prince Haakon remained ahead of his older sister, Princess Märtha Louise.

This new rule first applied to the children of Crown Prince Haakon. This means that Prince Sverre Magnus is not ahead of his older sister, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, even though he is a boy. If the old rules were still in place, he would have been.

Prince Sverre Magnus is currently third in line to the Norwegian throne. He is a member of the Royal Family. However, he is not part of the "Royal House," which includes only his grandparents, parents, and older sister.
