Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit's children Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus undertook a major milestone on Thursday - their first solo joint engagement!
Whilst the young Norwegian royals are no strangers to the spotlight, their recent outing marked the first time that they had attended a public event without their parents or grandparents in tow.
Looking relaxed and happy, the pair inaugurated the Norwegian Red Cross' summer training programme, before later joining the Norwegian Rescue Service's volunteer training sessions.

Sverre Magnus, meanwhile, wore a pair of dark Helly Hansen trousers, comfortable trainers and a chocolate-hued T-shirt.

It's been a busy year for the sibling duo! Back in April, Ingrid Alexandra completed 15 months of military service with the Engineer Battalion at Skjold camp in Målselv.
Her father, Haakon, is ranked as a general in the Norwegian Armed Forces and Ingrid appears to be inspired by him by following in his footsteps. In August this year, she is expected to move abroad to the University of Sydney where she will begin a three-year degree in social sciences.

When asked about whether the 21-year-old should study closer to home, the Norwegian monarch reportedly said: "You get this back with compound interest when she gets home, so I think that's just an advantage. She must be allowed to study and get an education before she starts representing."

He carried out his first solo outing in May, attending a reception at the government's representative residence for the Norwegian squad and support staff at the Special Olympics World Games in Turin 2025.
Aside from Princess Ingrid and Prince Sverre, Mette-Maris is also a mother to a son called Marius from a previous relationship.
