Many people don't realize that he is not only the King of Norway, but also in the British Line of Succession as a great great grandson to Queen Victoria. His English is great because he spent many years in the United States as Crown Prince.
The polls in Norway in 2016 show that over 80% of Norway's population wants the monarchy, including King Harald. King Harald has for almost 27 years, as King of Norway, shown himself as a king of the people in Norway in his father's King Olav's spirit
King Olavs death in 1991 was hard for norwegian people. Would Harald be a good King? He becomes a great King like Olav. I will cry alot when Harald dies one day. Like i did with Olav. I love my King
I saw his father King Olav and shook his hand, when he came to Minnesota and spoke at my college during graduation back in the seventies. He was very popular with our people, many of whom are descended from Norwegian emigrants to the USA.
Is he Norwegian! ? He speaks absolutely perfect English! Mind you, Scandinavian countries are very English literate. There the countries who are very, very close the the UK but we never feel the need to shout about it.
+Oliver Newell He lived in the United States for a long time during WW2 (I think) as Crown Prince. He is also in the British Line of Succesion since he is a great great grandson to Queen Victoria.
We Irish once had a - King Brian Boru who defeated the Vikings at The Battle of Clontaff Dublin around 1014 PS THE britisk and French abandoned Norway to the Germans in 1940-Churchill mined Norwegian waters prior to the war when they were neutral.
His Majesty King Harald V's grandmother Queen Maud was Prince Charles' great-grandaunt, so he is part british. Also, he is royal; most royals in Europe are able to speak 2 or 3 languages other then their native one.
@@MeAndMira no he doesn't, remember he still has a slight Norwegian accent. He speaks an American english with a small Norwegian accent making it sound british at moments
That's what I was wondering! According to protocole, the host addresses the guests in his native language! But maybe this visit wasn't really "official"!
This shocks me that people think he has an american accent. Seriously.... The guy speaks better english than me. Although going to Oxford probably forces you to improve your english! I would be embarassed to speak with him, he'd probably think I had a weird accent
Probably because Charles & Camilla were the guests of the Norwegian Royals & I don't imagine either of them speak/understand Norwegian.Besides,the King speaks perfect English,(as demonstrated here).Etiquette/protocol also dictates that the host addresses the visiting guests in their language.
I can hear traces of both british and american in his accent, and that's entirely consistent with his linguistic background. His grandmother was english, he spent his early years in Washington DC, and he attended Oxford university (Balliol college). This results in a spoken English with traces of a Norwegian accent, while the core is somewhat mid-atlantic.

@@siononalundula1699 Not to mention their family also in WWII when Harald was a kid his Country Norway was invaded by the Nazis his father and grandfather fled to Britain while he including his mother and sisters fled to Sweden his mother native country then to the US where he spent part of his childhood there. During his time there he spoke English fluently with an American accent.
When finally in Norway abandon the monarchy. Down with the monarchy long live the Republic of Norway headed by the President! We already live in the 21st century !. Enough to feed idlers crowned sucking the blood of the working people. It is necessary once and for all put an end to the monarchy to establish the Republic, Norway and go ahead!
And here Trump. You have to be a responsible person. There is Trump but also in France defeated Macron. If the people do not like the work of Trump or Macron, they will be re-elected. There will be other people elected. A monarchy is when a lot of irresponsible loafers and sits on the neck of the people.
Well most of my friends in USA dont understand the selection of Trump as president, and certanly not the rest of the world, out of all the people in your country, this was the "best" person to lead your country.... In my country , this election is a joke...... Hopefully he ll be removed... very soon
This is a very bad and very harmful position. It is necessary and necessary that your taxes go to doctors, to pay kindergartens, to develop highly efficient and environmentally friendly agriculture, to develop science and so on. That's why you need to pay taxes and not to keep the royal loafers and their ceremony. It is necessary to pay round strong and clever leaders such as Lenin, Mandela, Roosevelt, Churchill, Gandhi and so on. This is the advantage for the country and to keep the royal parasites and pay for all their idiotic clownery is the way to the degradation of society. This is the way to nowhere. You must change your own position. She will not bring it to the good. By the way, recently the beautiful inauguration of French President Emmanuel Macron took place. I hope you looked at it and you are amazed. So Yes Hello the Norwegian Republic In the Head with the President. !!!
