A whole host of European royals will gather in Norway this weekend to celebrate the confirmation of Prince Haakon and Princess Mette-Marit's daughter, Princess Ingrid. Apart from the Norwegian royal family, other VIPs who are set to attend the church service include Ingrid's royal godparents: King Felipe of Spain and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, who are both godfathers, and godmother Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
Frederik will be joined by his wife Crown Princess Mary and their eldest child, Prince Christian, who is second-in-line to the Danish throne. Ingrid's other godmothers are also on the guest list: her aunt Princess Märtha Louise and her maternal grandmother Marit Tjessem. Her parents Haakon and Mette-Marit, her younger brother Prince Sverre and her older half-brother Marius Borg Høiby will also attend, as will Marius' girlfriend Juliane Snekkestad.
