THE YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE NORWEGIAN ROYAL FAMILY WAS IN HIS ELEMENT RECENTLY AS THE COUNTRY CELEBRATED NATIONAL DAY. PRINCE SVERRE MAGNUS JOINED HIS GLAMOROUS MOTHER, CROWN PRINCESS METTE MARIT AND FATHER PRINCE HAAKON, IN GREETING WELL-WISHERS AS THOUSANDS GATHERED OUTSIDE THE ROYAL RESIDENCE IN ASKER, ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF OLSO. BEARING A STRIKING RESEMBLANCE TO HIS MOTHER, THE ADORABLE YOUNG ROYAL WAS FULLY DRESSED IN BUNAD, THE NATION'S TRADITIONAL COSTUME. AND THE FOUR YEAR OLD WASN'T THE ONLY ROYAL YOUNGSTER HELPING CELEBRATE THE BIG DAY. ALSO THERE WAS PRINCESS INGRID AND METTE MARIT'S 13 YEAR OLD SON MARIUS, FROM A PREVIEWS RELATIONSHIP. SYTTENDE MAI, THE 17.MAY HOLIDAY, MARKS THE DAY IN 1814 WHEN NORWAY GAINED INDEPENDENCE FROM A 500 YEAR UNION WITH DENMARK. CHILDREN'S PROCESSIONS ARE ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY AND IT'S ALSO THE OCCASION FOR HIGH SCHOOL LEAVERS TO CELEBRATE THE END OF THEIR SCHOOL DAYS BY PARADING ON FLOATS BEARING SLOGANS AND PLAYING LOUD MUSIC.
