The Royal secret Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway has been hiding during her stay Down Under
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway moved to Australia last month to begin a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney. The future queen of Norway, 21, has been spotted in recent weeks exploring Sydney while getting into the spirit of student life. But it's now been revealed Ingrid Alexandra has been hiding a major secret during her stay Down Under. Her parents Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit have also joined her in Sydney. The Royal couple have been keeping a low profile after jetting into the country earlier this month. After arriving in Sydney, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit were whisked away and driven to their hotel. They have visited local cafes and popular attractions, and were seen spending time with their daughter last week before jetting out of the country on Monday. Last week, Ingrid took a break from her studies to spend time with her parents and also enjoyed a boat party on Sydney Harbour with her friends. The party appeared to be Christmas-themed, with many revellers decked out in Santa Claus costumes. Ingrid looked delighted to be taking a break, beaming as she arrived at the weekday party with friends. The chic royal, who is second in line to the throne after her father arrived Down Under late last month. She posed on campus for a series of photos she uploaded to Instagram. The Royal Household's full statement from Ingrid read: 'I'm looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney. 'It will be exciting to become a student, and I'm looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics. 'I'm sure that I will learn a lot.' She marked the joyous occasion with a series of images taken around what appeared to be the University of Sydney campus. While she is certainly adjusting to Australian party life, Ingrid appears to still be getting the hang of Aussie road rules. She was recently spotted making a slight slip-up when she and a female friend tried to hop into a waiting Uber from the wrong side. Evidently used to left-hand drive vehicles, the princess was seen reaching for the door handle on the driver's side. Her decision to move to Australia to continue her studies comes after she embarked on military training at the Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord last year.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway steps out in chic ensemble at Sydney Aquarium as she takes serious-looking phone call during study break
Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway looked serious on Wednesday as she was spotted taking a phone call during a trip to Sydney Aquarium. She could be seen leaving the venue garbed in a very chic but casual ensemble while taking a break from her studies at the University of Sydney. The future Queen of Norway, 21, who is pursuing her Bachelor of Arts degree, opted for loose-fit blue jeans, a black top and deep red over-shirt for her outing. Fitting the part of an Aussie uni student, Ingrid—the daughter of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit—paired her look with white sneakers. With a large black bag slung across her body, Ingrid appeared to be frowning as she left the aquarium to take a phone call. She kept accessories to a minimum, choosing simple gold earrings and a matching bangle as she wore her brunette hair loose.

Eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess, Marius Borg Hoiby, charged with multiple rapes
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. The eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess has been charged with multiple counts of rape, sexual assault and bodily harm. Marius Borg Hoiby, who was born as a result of a relationship before Crown Princess Mette-Marit's marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, has been under investigation since his arrest on August 4 last year on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend. The arrest led to a slew of allegations against the 28-year-old that have shaken the royal family. Police Attorney Andreas Kruszweski told reporters on Friday local time the 10-month investigation had been completed. Mr Hoiby was suspected of 'one count of rape with sexual intercourse' and 'two counts of rape without sexual intercourse', Mr Kruszweski said. Mr Hoiby's lawyer, Ellen Holagar Andanaes, told news agency NTB her client rejected the three rape allegations. Norway's Marius Borg Hoiby has been charged with multiple counts of rape. Picture: Haykon Mosvold Larsen/NTB/AFP Mr Hoiby has previously admitted to assault and vandalism in the August 2024 incident. In a public statement 10 days after his arrest, he said he had acted 'under the influence of alcohol and cocaine after an argument', having suffered from 'mental troubles' and struggling 'for a long time with substance abuse'. Behind bars Police said Mr Hoiby was also suspected of four counts of sexually offensive behaviour, one count of abuse in a close relationship, two counts of bodily harm, one count of vandalism, one count of issuing threats, five violations of restraining orders, one count of insulting a police officer, and five traffic offences. 'I cannot elaborate on the number of victims in the case other than to confirm that we are talking about a double-digit number,' Mr Kruszweski said. Mr Hoiby has been in the eye of a media storm since his arrest. When the rape allegations emerged in November, he spent a week behind bars in custody – unprecedented for a member of Norway's royal family. After his release, he reportedly went to rehab in London.

Bad company Mr Hoiby was propelled into the spotlight at the age of four when his mother married Norway's Crown Prince, with whom she went on to have two more children. He was raised by the royal couple alongside his step-siblings Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus, aged 21 and 19. Unlike them, however, he has no official public role. Despite Crown Princess Mette-Marit's attempts to shield him from the public eye, he has made headlines over the years. 'He has been put in a virtually impossible position: one foot in, one foot out. He is not technically part of the royal household but he grew up in it,' said Sigrid Hvidsten, royals commentator at the newspaper Dagbladet. 'He has lived in a grey zone, a kind of gilded cage,' she told AFP in December 2024. Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway.

In 2023, police contacted him to have a cautionary talk after he was seen moving in the same circles as 'notorious criminals'. Once the assault scandal hit the headlines in August, it emerged that Mr Hoiby had already been arrested in 2017 for using cocaine at a music festival. He has lived a comfortable lifestyle provided for by his mother and stepfather, and has shown little interest in academic studies or work. Several of his ex-girlfriends were among the plaintiffs in cases against him. Originally published as Eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess, Marius Borg Hoiby, charged with multiple rapes
