Princess Ingrid Alexandra will one day be queen of Norway

On her 18th birthday last year, Princess Ingrid Alexandra made her dazzling tiara debut in official portraits to mark the milestone occasion.

The glittering diamond and pearl tiara, which was a gift from her great-aunt Princess Ragnhild's family, has been passed down from Princess Ingeborg of Sweden, who was the grandmother of the King of Norway and the great-great-grandmother of Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

The statement headpiece has also previously been used by Princess Märtha of Sweden (Crown Princess of Norway), Princess Margaretha of Denmark and of course, Princess Ragnhild of Norway.
