Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway celebrates her 18th birthday – a special detail catches the eye in the new portrait photos.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway is currently celebrating her 18th birthday. On the occasion of this event, the royal family has new Portrait photos of the princess published.
There is a special detail on it: Ingrid Alexandra wears a valuable diamond diadem that was given to her for her 18th birthday. The princess stages the headdress with a simple, dark blue dress.
A family heirloom, the Boucheron Pearl Circle Tiara has been worn by the Norwegian royal family since the early 20th century and symbolizes the connection between the Scandinavian royal houses. Prince Carl of Sweden (1861-1951) is said to have bought it in Paris for Princess Ingeborg (1878-1958), daughter of King Frederick VIII of Denmark (1843-1912).
