The Norwegian and Swedish royal families have close ties, and share family trees. King Harald (84) and King Carl Gustaf (75) are some distance away from each other, but the former is the godfather of Crown Princess Victoria.
Crown Prince Haakon (48) is among the sponsors of the Swedish princess Estelle (9), and so is Crown Princess Victoria (44) for the Norwegian princess Ingrid Alexandra (17).
Therefore, it is natural that the two royal houses have a good relationship, and they also showed it with an Instagram update on Saturday.
Märtha’s secret message
It appears that the Norwegian Crown Prince’s family, with the exception of Prince Sverre Magnus (15), were visiting Gotland to visit the Swedish Crown Princess family.
«The Crown Prince Couple and Princess Ingrid Alexandra spent some beautiful late summer days on Gotland in the Baltic Sea last weekend, together with the Swedish Crown Princess family. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess have close and intimate contact with the Scandinavian royal houses, and greatly appreciated the visit to Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel “, the Norwegian royal house writes in the post.
The Swedish royal family has also posted a picture of the two families Instagram.
“The Crown Princess family greatly appreciated being with their Norwegian friends and relatives, in addition to having the opportunity to show them this unique part of Sweden,” they write.
