Just for information for you and everyone else. This king is very special. He is called by the Norwegians grandpa, they feel very close to him. So I assume that is the reason for the down votes. I don’t think they feel the same for the rest of the Royal family, Harald is just very special for all of the Norwegians. I have heard he was a very kind and compassionate king. But it is better to ask a Norwegian about it.





It doesn’t really matter whether he deserves it or not if he moved the Norwegians then that is enough to be special for them. Not for you and I because we didn’t grow up with him, but to the ppl who did.
It is a fact that norwegians are mourning him national wide and it is a huge “event” for them, they care about him deeply.
I don’t understand how they feel, but I respect their feelings and wanted to share the information so that everyone can make an informed decision about how they interact with the news.
