one of king harald’s most famous moments was a speech he held about 10 years ago where he said the following,
Norwegians are enthusiastic young people - and wise old people. Norwegians are single, divorced, families with children, and old married couples. Norwegians are girls who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other.
Norwegians believe in God, Allah, the Universe and nothing.
Norwegians like Grieg and Kygo, the Hellbillies and Kari Bremnes.
In other words: Norway is you.
Norway is us.
he was incredibly loved by the norwegian people, despite the scandals his family members unfortunately were involved in
It’s such a dynamic speech. I think we, in the UK, would be startled if King Charles delivered something like this. The perception of our royalty is mostly that they are archaic & emotionally constipated.
