“Princess Ingrid is well and back at school again. She felt it a little, but she has gotten well again and is up and running again. Nevertheless, this was a reminder to us that the virus situation is not quite over yet,” the Crown Prince said, according to Royal Central .

The Norwegian Royal House announced on Aug. 22 that the 17-year-old Princess had tested positive for COVID-19. The palace stated at the time that Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who is second in line to the Norwegian throne, was isolating at Skaugum, her family’s home, and that the Crown Prince family had also been tested, but their results were not positive.
