According to the Royal House, Princess Märtha Louise’s fiancé, Shaman Durek Verrett , will be joining his future royal in-laws at the event. Of course, Princess Ingrid Alexandra’s parents—Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit—and siblings—Marius Borg Høiby and Prince Sverre Magnus—will be at the dinner, as well as a number of foreign royals, including King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Hereditary Duke Guillaume, Hereditary Duchess Stéphanie and Prince Charles of Luxembourg, Crown Prince Pavlos, Crown Princess Marie-Chantal, Princess Olympia, Prince Constantine, and Prince Aristides.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra celebrated her milestone 18th birthday earlier this year (Jan. 21). New portraits of the royal, who is second in line to the Norwegian throne after her father, were released at the time. Along with the photos, the Royal House said that the Princess “will carry out an increasing number of official tasks for the Royal Family, but will be focusing on pursuing an education in the next few years.”
