With the death of Harald V of Norway at the age of 89, this special bonus video from History Calling looks back at the life of this Norwegian monarch, from his time in exile during World War 2, to his great love story with Queen Sonja (who he married despite the objections of his father, King Olav, to her commoner status) and their two controversial royal children, Princess Martha Louise and Prince Haakon. You’ll hear about King Harald’s reign, which began in 1991 and the recent difficulties he and the Norwegian royal family have faced as the result of the relationship between his daughter-in-law, Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Jeffrey Epstein, as well as the crimes of her son from a previous relationship, Marius Borg Høiby, who has been convicted of very serious offense against women.
I’ll also discuss King Harald’s involvement in the Olympics, how King Harald V modernised the Norwegian royal family, his recent ill health, including his treatment for the rare blood disorder, haemolytic anaemia and his death at Oslo University Hospital on 28 August 2026.
