King Harald 🤴was born in 1937, the first prince born in our beloved Norway in 567 years. But he isn’t known only for that; in fact, for so much more than that. He was known for his resilience during the war, for choosing to break with tradition and stay with the love of his life - a commoner - but above all, for his great speech explaining what Norway truly is: yes, our mountains, our fjords, our adventures, our love of nature, the midnight sun, but above all, Norway is people.
Through him we learned that Norway goes beyond borders, origins, and creeds; That being Norwegian was never about where you come from, but about belonging. He worried that no one would feel excluded, he loved our built nation, he valued each and every one of us.
So thank you, King Harald. Thank you for decades of a reign guided not by distance from the throne, but by closeness to us. Thank you for reminding us, with humility and courage, that a nation is not measured by its landscape or its wealth, but by the care we have for one another. Thank you for making the crown a symbol of unity, not division. Thank you for passing on your values to us.
May your story keep teaching us what it truly means to love a country: loving the people who live in it. Takk for alt, Kong Harald 🇳🇴❤️🫂
