The Norwegian royal family is once again in the spotlight, although this time it has nothing to do with a scandal. In recent days, social media and several international media outlets have echoed the romance between Princess Ingrid of Norway (20) and Franco Colapinto (21), the Argentine driver who made his Formula 1 debut last September.
They say that the magazine Se og Hør was the first to report on this love story that has spread like wildfire across Europe and some South American countries like Argentina. Everyone cites the weekly, but the truth is that there is no trace of this news in Se og Hør. This is how rumors work. All it takes is a person of importance, an event that lends credibility, and sometimes an unidentified source to spread a hoax or fake news. The story has already been created.
Apparently, the young couple met before the highly sought-after driver's debut, but the truth is that there are no images of the two together. Following the buzz of a supposed royal romance, an article in Se og Hør states that they are unaware of anything special between them, as "we searched our archives and we have never written about this name."
Furthermore, Ulf A. Andersen, the editor-in-chief of the aforementioned publication, took the opportunity in the article to inform that "it's very amusing. Did the Argentine press rely on information from Se og Hør? I think it's a huge misunderstanding. As far as we know, Ingrid Alexandra is not with any Argentine Formula 1 driver. We have never written anything about it, as some Argentine media claim."
As far as is known, the young driver's last girlfriend was French influencer Estelle Ogilvy, who, after breaking up with Franco, started a new relationship with Oliver Bearman, another driver belonging to the Ferrari Academy.
The eldest daughter of Prince Haakon (51) and Princess Mette-Marit (51) decided to move out in October of last year. The heir to the throne left the over 1,000 square meter Skaugum Palace located almost 20 kilometers from Oslo to move to a charming apartment in the center of Somoroy, one of the trendiest neighborhoods in the capital where the best nightlife is concentrated.
