Constitutional status and education

Sverre Magnus is third in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne following his sister, and, as a descendant of Maud of Wales, is also in the line of succession to the British throne, between his father and sister.^[1][3][4] He is a member of the Royal Family but not of the Royal House, which consists only of his grandparents, parents and sister.^[3] As descendants of the British King Edward VII's daughter Maud, members of the Norwegian royal family are also in the line of succession to the British throne;^[5][6] he precedes his sister in the British line due to male-preference cognatic primogeniture.^[7]

Since 18 August 2011, Sverre Magnus attended Jansløkka elementary school, a local state school attended by his sister and half-brother.^[1] On 17 June 2014, the Norwegian Royal Family notified the public that from the start of the 2014-2015 school year, Sverre Magnus would transfer to Oslo's private Montessori school. His sister Princess Ingrid Alexandra, was to transfer to the also private English-language Oslo International School.^[8]
