Haaland welcomed her shirtless, greeted her with a handshake, hugged her and exchanged a few jokes with her.
Footage of the meeting was published on social media and drew the attention of fans, being widely shared online.
Ingrid and her brother were in the United States as representatives of the royal family, after their mother, Mette-Marit, was unable to travel because of lung surgery.
The princess is the daughter of Crown Prince Haakon and is considered Norway’s future queen.
In Norway, as in the United Kingdom, the monarch has a mainly ceremonial role and does not take part in political decision-making.
