Some feelings can transcend age, blood, and nationality, and she will stand by your side, slowly watching you grow up, and will also be happy and moved by your every step of growth.
In June, the Norwegian royal family celebrated Princess Ingrid's eighteenth birthday, and Sweden's Crown Prince Victoria and her family came to the Royal Palace in Oslo to celebrate her bar mitzvah.
In fact, Princess Victoria will not be absent from every important ceremony of Princess Ingrid, even during weekday leisure time, Princess Victoria and Prince Haakon's family will get together.
On 16 April 2004, Princess Victoria attended Princess Ingrid's christening ceremony, and Princess Victoria became Princess Ingrid's godmother, the first time they were publicly in the same frame.
For the role of Victoria, Princess Mette described it this way: "She is the next princess of Sweden and Ingrid's godmother, and I hope my daughter can be a down-to-earth and famous person like Princess Victoria." ”
Long ago, the distant blood relationship brought Princess Victoria and Prince Haakon very close, and together they created many good memories.
The relationship between them is not a friend but more like a friend, and it is better than family than family.
The current King Harald V of Norway and the current King of Sweden are actually cousins, so Prince Haakon and Princess Victoria are also cousins, and the close blood relationship of the previous generation brought them very close.
Prince Haakon and Princess Victoria have an age difference of only four years, and because they have known each other since childhood, they have a very deep affection, so as soon as the daughter is born, Haakon designated Princess Victoria as her daughter's godmother.
Princess Mette felt that Princess Victoria was fully qualified for the role of godmother, and she was Princess Ingrid's role model.
Since then, Princess Victoria has been a witness to the growth of Princess Ingrid.
She is the most concerned person besides her own children, and she will pay close attention to every moment of Princess Ingrid's growth.
The way she babbled, the way she looked when she entered the school, what she saw and heard at school she knew from the mouths of Mr. and Mrs. Haakon.
As the future Queen of Sweden, Princess Victoria is undoubtedly the best example of Ingrid, the future Queen of Norway.
It is well known that the Swedish and Norwegian royal families are the most humble and poorest royal families, and they are living cautiously to avoid popular grievances and to avoid the abolition of the monarchy.
Since childhood, the royal family members have been taught not to waste extravagance and pomp, and non-direct royal family members must also be prepared to find their own way out.
Members of the Swedish royal family are very close to the people, sometimes choosing public transport and even taking regular domestic flights.
What Princess Mette admires the most is Victoria's tough personality.
In fact, everyone knows that Princess Victoria is not the ideal heir to her father Karl XVI, and she has always been questioned by her father, who questioned her inability to be a good prince or even a monarch as a woman.
While suffering from anorexia, she had to overcome dyslexia she had suffered from childhood, but even so, she achieved excellent results through her own efforts.
Someone once said that role models are self-growth models that use mirrors as a reference, and the power of role models plays a key role in children.
Both Princess Victoria and Princess Ingrid need to think from the perspective of female leaders, and Princess Victoria will provide her with a model of reference and answer her questions in the process of Princess Ingrid's search for her self.
Growing up, Princess Ingrid also had many similarities with her godmother, Princess Victoria.
As a princess, she had many attendants to serve her.
Princess Ingrid prefers to refer to the staff who serve them as assistants rather than the unfriendly title of "servant", and according to her understanding, the assistant exists to help them live a better and easier life.
Princess Victoria once pampered Princess Ingrid that in her world, she was always right and she was also the loveliest of all.
When she is not tall enough, Princess Victoria will quietly adjust the microphone for her, will stand next to her to cheer her on, and will let her be coquettish.
At Princess Ingrid's confirmation ceremony, when everyone was looking down at the manual, only Princess Victoria silently looked at Princess Ingrid who was speaking.
Perhaps, Princess Victoria is someone other than her parents who can give her a sense of security.
