New photos of Princess Ingrid Alexandra have been shared by Norway's palace ahead of the royal's 18th birthday on Friday.
The images show the princess wearing a smart black trouser suit with a white blouse and statement earrings, as she poses for the portraits on a cream-coloured sofa with patterned cushions in her new office at the Royal Palace in Oslo.
The Norwegian royal court said in a press release: "In time, she will receive more official assignments for the Royal House, but the princess will concentrate on her education in the coming years."

While a planned gala dinner and government event to mark Princess Ingrid Alexandra's 18th birthday has been pushed back to a later date due to the pandemic, she will visit the Norwegian Parliament on Friday.
