Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit's eldest daughter, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, has been supporting her fellow students during the coronavirus lockdown in Norway. The 16-year-old is part of the student council at Uranienborg School in Oslo and representatives have been checking in on other pupils and making sure they have someone to talk to, while they are being home-schooled.
The princess' photo was featured in a now-deleted post on the school's website showing members of the student council speaking to their classmates by phone and video calls. According to Norwegian newspaper, Verdens Gang, the students are sad that they cannot see their friends and are missing the routine of being able to go to school and taking part in extra-curricular activities afterwards. Children in the first to fourth grade returned to their lessons on Monday, but the rest of the students may not go back to their classrooms until August.
