Beginning 18 August 2011, Sverre Magnus attended Jansløkka elementary school, a local state school attended by his elder sister and half-brother.[2] 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. He attended the school until 2021.[5] In the autumn of 2021, Sverre Magnus began attending Elvebakken Upper Secondary School in Oslo, the same school his older sister Princess Ingrid Alexandra attended, following the Information Technology and Media Production (IM) line.[6] He graduated on 18 June 2024.[7]
Activities and leisure interests

Prince Sverre Magnus enjoys skiing and biking - primarily BMX and cross. He shares the joy of water sports, and especially surfing, with the rest of his family.[8] His favourite sport, as revealed in an interview with his sister to mark his 18th birthday, is skiing.
Constitutional status
The Constitution of Norway was amended in 1990 to introduce absolute primogeniture, ensuring that the crown would pass to the eldest child regardless of sex but keeping the Crown Prince ahead of his elder sister, Princess Märtha Louise. This change applied for the first time to the children of the Crown Prince, meaning that Sverre Magnus would not rank above his elder sister, as would have happened under prior constitutional rules. Sverre Magnus is third in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne following his elder sister.[2][9][10] He is a member of the Royal Family but not of the Royal House, which consists only of his grandparents, parents and elder sister.[11]
