When Norway’s Royal Family distribute their annual Christmas photographs, they are usually indoors, and taking part in indoor activities. 
This year, however, the royal house of Glucksburg chose to go outdoors into the Norwegian winter, to show to Norway and the world, how much they enjoy outdoor activities.
“Christmas pictures of the royal family are usually indoors – and I think it’s fun to this year breaks with this tradition. I think actually it’s extra nice to see our sporty royal family so gathered outside in nature, “said See and Heard court reporter Kjell Arne Totland to Seher.no.
King Harald and Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit took to the fun and games in Sneen outside Skaugum for the annual Christmas pictures.
With snowmen, sausage grilling and sledging, there was no doubt that the Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Prince Sverre Magnus, and Mette-Marit’s son Marius Borg Høiby from a previous relationship, enjoyed the outdoors with their parents and grandparents.
Prince Sverre Magnus kept close to his mother, while Princess Ingrid Alexandra walked with her father before taking a seat with the others around the bonfire.
“We have eaten sausages outside in day-care as well,” the young Princess told the press.
The young heiress, who turns five in January, showed the photographers a little lam she held in her hand. Maybe it was this morning’s advent calendar gift?
In a week the Royal couple and the Crown Prince family will move to Kongsseteren where they will celebrate Christmas this year. Princess Martha Louise will celebrate at her home in Lommedalen with her in-laws.
Queen Margrethe is very active in the art world. She’s done illustrations for children’s books, including some for Hans Christian Andersen
