Norwegian Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus cheer team at World Cup in USA

Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 22, and Prince Sverre Magnus, 20, travelled from Norway to New Jersey to support their national team in the men’s FIFA World Cup group match against Senegal. The siblings sat in the stadium’s VIP area, where an unwritten rule prohibits wearing team colours. Both wore Norwegian‑coloured scarves, and Ingrid added a red blazer and a matching clutch, breaking the protocol while the Norwegian foreign minister adhered to the dress code.

Their appearance joins similar royal support at the tournament, including the Dutch king and queen and other European royals, but the Norwegian pair’s colourful outfit drew particular media attention for symbolising youthful enthusiasm and a slight breach of tradition.

The incident highlights the visible role of European monarchies in sporting events, showcasing national pride and the blending of royal duties with popular culture.
