Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway, the second child of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, took her father on a trip in the resume-90 tank during her military training.
The Norwegian royal enjoyed the trip during his visit to the princess’s battalion.
Princess Ingrid is currently in her first service year with the engineering battalion.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra is undergoing military training. She began her 12-month military service as a military service at the Battle Engineer Battalion in Brigade Nord on January 17, 2024. Originally, she underwent an eight-week recruitment school and received basic military education. After completing the recruitment period, she was awarded a service position and reviewed professional education with specific education, followed by departmental education and practice.

On the other hand, the headline of a 2023 report on the British royal family in the Daily Mail read that “Prince George is not expected to join the armed forces before becoming king who breaks centuries of tradition.”
The report referred to the first child of the heir to the British crown, Prince William.
On March 12, 2025, the Telegraph quoted Britain’s former defense secretary Lord Hammond to say that young men are completely unprepared to fight for a war for Britain when he called for radical changes to fight the threat of Russian aggression.
He said the United Kingdom must cut back on the cost of benefits and pensions to help rebuild his defense industry while preparing citizens mentally for the potential risk of conflict.
