[edit] Status of Marius

It is in fact not up to the Crown Prince or even the King whether Marius gets a royal title. When asked whether the crown prince had any intention of adopting Mette-Marit's son, Haakon Magnus has made it very clear this was not an option being considered - the boy has a father and a mother who by all accounts get along well. From what I understand, the constitution and custom is not clear about adoption in any event; so anything about this is pure speculation. I don't think we should contribute to the endless speculation that the tabloid press perpetuates in Norway and should leave the matter alone, as it has - at least at the moment - no political or constitutional relevance. --Leifern 23:58, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Might he be given some kind of noble title (duke of blah blah, etc.) to indicate his closeness to the royal family? Or are such titles no longer in use in Norway? --Jfruh (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

No, such titles are no longer in use in Norway. It is highly unlikely that the King vill ever give him any noble title, and it seems clear that the royal family prepers him for a normal civilian life for the future. He is a fully integrated member of the private royal family, but not part of the official royal family. Cato from Oslo
