Norway eyes a regent in Ingrid Alexandra as constitutional reform advances
Norway’s parliament is weighing a constitutional amendment to let Princess Ingrid Alexandra serve as regent if both the king and heir are unable to rule, a move aimed at preventing a potential leadership gap. The proposal would exclude Prince Sverre Magnus and requires a two-thirds parliamentary majority; a November vote could set Ingrid on a path toward the throne. Critics say the change is narrowly tailored to current circumstances and may not address future succession, while supporters see it as prudent preparation for the monarchy’s continuity.
