RIP. As an Irish American we don't want a president let alone a king. FTS. SMFH.
Sounds like the prince to be king is a good guy. His wife and her son, not his seem trashy though.
No matter who you are. King, Queen, celebrity, rich, poor, living in a super luxuari flat or just in a favela. You are going to die one day.
The King in the North!
My condolences to you, Norwegians. I'm a royalist myself so I grieve with you.
Alt for Norge!
