Biography[edit]
He is third in the line of succession to the Norwegian Throne, after his father and his older sister. As a descendant of Edward VII of the United Kingdom, he is also in the line of succession to the throne of each of the sixteen Commonwealth realms; where Sverre Magnus ranks ahead of his sister, since those realms still follow the custom of male-preference primogeniture.
The prince's name was communicated in a council of state by his grandfather King Harald V on 5 December 2005 and that he will be styled and titled as His Highness the Prince Sverre Magnus. His closest family call him Magnus.
Both his names have a royal history; King Sverre reigned in the 12th century, and Magnus has been the name of seven Norwegian kings, as well as his father's middle name.
Prince Sverre Magnus was christened on 4 March 2006 by Bishop Ole Christian Kvarme at the chapel inside The Royal Palace in Oslo. He had seven godparents: his grandmother the Queen, Princess Máxima of the Netherlands, the Crown Prince of Greece, Princess Rosario of Bulgaria, his maternal uncle Espen Høiby, and his parents' friends Bjørn Steinsland and Marianne Gjellestad.[1]
Besides the godparents, several royal guests and politicians attended the christening, including the Queen of Denmark, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Denmark, the Crown Princess of Sweden, Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Parliament President Thorbjørn Jagland.
Title and style[edit]
- His Highness Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway (2005 – present).
Prince Sverre Magnus has been granted the style His Highness, unlike his elder sister, who is styled Her Royal Highness. The Prince is not a member of the Royal House of Norway.[2] Furthermore, the Prince is normally referred to only as prins Sverre in Norwegian,[3] whereas also the style His Highness is used in English.[4]
