King Harald V of Norway
It's Reigning Men
Sunday, 16 February 2025 - 28 minutes
This episode contains some discussion around sexual assault allegations in the second half of the episode, which may not be appropriate for all.The King of Norway is one of the most-popular figures in the country but recent scandals surrounding the royal family suggest support is weakening.His daughter, Princess Märtha Louise, controversially married a self-styled shaman last year who has peddled conspiracy theories and faced a string of criminal accusations, which he denies.Late last year Marius Borg Høiby, the step-son of Crown Prince Haakon through his wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was arrested following an allegation of rape, which he denies.In this episode we look at the impact those two huge stories in Norway have had on the monarchy, and discuss a 2016 speech King Harald gave that made headlines around the world.Plus we look at Norway's answer to The Crown, as Harold and Sonja - or The Commoner - is released on Amazon Prime, telling the story of how the now King and Queen were prevented from marrying for nearly a decade.Guests:Sindre Strand Offerdal, actor playing Crown Prince HaroldOle-Jorgen Schulsrud-Hansen, historian and TV2 royal commentatorHosted by Daniel RosneyOur email is: itsreigningmenpod@gmail.comThe trailer for Harald and Sonja is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdvp1uKk114------------------Thanks for listening to It’s Reigning Men - a brand new podcast about royalty, royal families, and monarchs of the world.
