So, by electing Carl, they also elected little Alexander.

Thanks for reply me. I also think that this Olav matter will not be a big deal for Norwegian people but since I don’t know much about Norwegian RF history then my reason is more simple than yours, I think if Norwegian people can accept Mette-Marrit as their future queen consort and a mother of their future reigned queen, then who ever the real Olav’s parents is not a big deal anymore for them (Our Norwegian fellow here please to correct me if I am wrong, that's why in my previouse post I asked what will be Norwegian People reaction).

About historian needs the true story, I think its also depend on Norwegian people willing to find out the truth or just let it burried and forgoten by the time. I think if it happen it will not be the first faux history in the world..... but why not, if this can bring more good than the bad impact for every part (of course it is just my own opinion)

To be clear it was no illicit affair but (if true) is said to be artificial insemination using a turkey baster. The sperm donor was the doctor's handsome young son. Perhaps Haakon was infertile, or perhaps he and Maud had aversion to having sexual relations since as first cousins they were had grown up close like brother and sister.
