    Fun fact: As a child, (then Prince) Harald lived in exile in Washington D.C. during WWII.

    Norway may or may not have a coronation - yet King Harald's velvet bonnet is his crown here.

    Wishing you a Happy Father's Day, Your Majesty King Harald V. I would love to see your son the Crown Prince Haakon Magnus become King Haakon Magnus I. Imagine how happy ever Ola Norman will feel, and especially Liv Alexander the granddaughter of Eric the Red -- Vic Alexander

      His mother and two sisters fled Sweden first and Sweden wasn’t too happy (mom was a Swedish Princess) because they felt like she was threatening Sweden’s neutrality. Which resulted in Princess Märtha, Harald’s two sisters, and Harald himself went to the States when the n@zi’s invaded and took over Norway. Throughout the war, the family stayed at the White House. That is why Harald speaks English with a American accent.
