An American citizen who landed last Wednesday at Oslo airport has been detained by the Norwegian police after trying to bring several weapons hidden in his luggage into the country. During his police statement he also expressed particular concern for the Norwegian royal family, especially Princess Ingrid Alexandra, the granddaughter of Kings Harald V and Queen Sonja, whom he confessed he intended to marry.
With a total of 250 kilos of luggage divided into 17 packages, the traveler’s plan was to be in Norway for a while. Among the belongings of the man, who has no connection with Norwegian royalty, a notebook was also found with the names and addresses of several members of the royal family. According to the Norwegian channel TV2, one of the weapons that he was carrying in his luggage, which was detained upon his arrival in the country, is a 6 mm Remington rifle.
During interrogation, the American admitted his guilt for trying to bring weapons into the country without the relevant permits and said he was thinking about applying for a license later. The Norwegian lawyer hired by the detainee, Jørund Lægland, alleges that his client had many of his belongings with her because he intended to move to the country and considered it safer to take his weapons with him.
The American, according to his statement, wanted to work in agriculture in Norway, since that is what he has experience in in the United States. The prosecution and defense are asking that the man be deported from Norway, as already happened in August 2021 after an unspecified incident that took place in Skaugum, the official residence of the princess’s parents, Crown Princes Haakon of Norway and Mette Marit.
In recent months, Princess Ingrid, who is the goddaughter of King Felipe VI, has decided to work in a school, whose classrooms she spent as a student, as a school assistant and environmental worker. During this impasse before moving to Camp Skjold to begin her military training, the princess has been residing alone in an apartment in the bohemian streets of the Grünerløkka neighborhood, famous for its street art, its refined bars, its fashionable nightclubs and its cafes. .
This is not the first time that a princess of her generation has suffered threats. Amalia from the Netherlands has suffered major problems developing her life after the country’s intelligence discovered encrypted messages about an alleged attack or kidnapping of the princess in 2022. According to De Telegraaf, the alleged threats had emerged from Ridouan Taghi’s entourage. , the main figure of organized crime in the Netherlands.
