After nearly six hundred years, for the very first time, a king came from Norway. The Norwegians, right after his birth, celebrated for this meant that the next king will come from their country. He came from a
family of monarchs that ruled from the nineteenth century.
Harald, a prince then, grew up a noble man while learning his duties and responsibilities as future king. He belongs to a family with strong ties and a deep compassion for the people. The
modern traditions of the monarchs did not mingle with his learning; instead, he developed his own way of executing the policies. However, after his coronation as Prince, controversies arouse with regards to his announcement that he wanted a civilian or a commoner as spouse.
But love really is a splendor thing, and amid the criticisms, his marriage with Sonja, a friend whom he knew for almost nine years, took place. King Harald and
Queen Sonja gained the respect of the people. Queen Sonja has an inclination with culture and the arts. She devoted herself to her children and promoting humanities. At the same time, the king has established a unified and stable Norway.
