Princess Ingrid Alexandra and her brother have carried out a rare joint engagement as they reunited in Norway.
The 21-year-old and Prince Sverre Magnus toured a fire station in Oslo to learn about how the centre runs and the different types of equipment used each day by its crew.
The royal siblings were then lifted 32 metres into the sky inside a crane as part of their tour.

Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre, 20, were dressed in uniform as they carried out the engagement in Sentrum.
It was just the second joint engagement Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre have done together, following their first in June when they attended an event for the Red Cross.
Until recently, both had been largely shielded from the public to allow them to have normal lives away from the spotlight.
Prince Sverre now lives in Milan, Italy, after moving there to further his career. In July, the prince created his own company, Sverre Magnus Productions, and a palace spokesperson said the royal was keen on developing skills in film and photography production.

However, there has been some criticism the prince should be given more royal duties to support Norway’s ageing King and Queen and Crown Princess, who suffers from chronic lung disease.
Later in the evening, brother and sister joined their parents Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit inside the Royal Palace’s chapel for a Christmas mass, held to honour members of the country’s emergency services.
The Crown Prince family each spoke at the service, thanking those present for their service to Norway throughout the year.
“All of you here in the chapel meet daily people in difficult situations,” the Crown prince couple said.

“You will also meet joy and gratitude. You meet life and everything human with safety and professionalism. Thank you for being there when we need you.”
Tuesday’s engagements were the latest for Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who recently left Australia following her end of semester exams at the University of Sydney.
During her outing, the princess was asked about Sunday’s terror attack at Bondi Beach and she said: “My thoughts go out to all those who have lost someone, and especially to the Jewish community in both Australia and Norway.
“Sydney is a city I have come to love very much, so it is strange and unthinkable that it has happened right there.”

Princess Ingrid Alexandra has carried out a number of official public duties since returning to Norway in late November.
Last week, Princess Ingrid Alexandra joined her grandparents King Harald and Queen Sonja, and the Crown Prince couple, for the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony.
It was the first time the princess, who is heir to Norway’s throne after her father, attended the historic event, with the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Venezuela’s opposition leader MarÃa Corina Machado.
Rather than resting during her time off from university, Ingrid Alexandra has thrown herself into royal duties.

Her first event back on home soil was alongside her father as they joined the Institute of Marine Research on a voyage through the Oslo fjord, aboard the research ship named Princess Ingrid Alexandria, to monitor the waterway’s sprat population.
The princess then accompanied her mother for the Children’s Peace Prize Celebration ahead of the Nobel ceremony.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre will celebrate Christmas with their parents and grandparents in Norway ahead of what is expected to be a challenging few months for the royal family.
The criminal trial against Marius Borg Høiby will begin on February 3 next year and run until March 13, in Oslo’s District Court.
Last year, Høiby – the 28-year-old son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon – was arrested.
He is accused of 32 crimes including domestic abuse and rape, most of which he denies, and faces 10 years in prison if convicted.

While the King and his wife Queen Sonja, who are both 88, are not expected to attend the proceedings, the Crown Prince couple are likely to be there.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra is expected to return to Sydney for university in the New Year before the trial gets underway.
