Crown Princess Mette-Maritsaid of the decision at the time, “Marius has always had a role that has been difficult to define in the public sphere. He is and will be an exceptionally important part of our family. Marius became a symbol of the unusual choice we made when we got married, at the same time, he will not carry public duties like his siblings.He should not have a public role and is not a public figure.”

However, he often joins the Norwegian royals for family events, such as the18th birthday celebrationsfor his half-sister, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, in 2022.
