Never Ever Say Anything Disparaging About The King

Source: https://peopledotcom.files.wordpress.com/

The King of Norway, Harald V, the only son of King Olav V and Princess Märtha of Sweden, is greatly beloved by his people. Not only is he a four-star general, an admiral, and the Supreme Commander of the Norwegian Armed Forces, but he’s also a keen sportsman, representing his country in sailing three times at the Olympic Games. Even in his 80s, he remains powerfully fit and active, nicknamed the “Sailor King” by the Canadian media. In fact, for his 80th birthday, he took the Royal Family to South Africa not just to sail—but to surf. His loyal subjects are also very happy to see him present in every skiing event and cheering on the athletes. Moreover, the King and Queen’s love story is one to cherish, with Harald secretly dating Sonja, a commoner, for almost a decade before vowing to his father he’ll never marry anyone else. They’ve been happily married since and stay so in love with each other, often injecting humor into their relationship. King Harald V is sharp, good-humored, and inspiring, and he continues to promote inclusivity, love, and equality. The people’s admiration extends to the entire Royal Family, from Crown Prince Haakon Magnus who also married a commoner to Prince Sverre Magnus who is not afraid to act his age.
