Not likely to be translate IMO,
The real treassure about the book is the pictures, some of them were just shown on TV, all taken by the Queen, it shows a totally relaxed King with his children, there are also a couple of pictures taken at the Spanish royal family Vacation home Marivent (in the 80s I think), the book is 500 pages long
also some absolutly adorable pictures with the Grandchildren, Maud Angelica on his shoulders, Ingrid and Harald in the gardens of Skaugum blowing on old "løvetann", you know theese flowers.

The King also talks about state visits, the most difficult one was the one from Ceausescu. It all started badly, the diktator had told the palace he would like a white Mercedes as a welcomming gift so when he got a book with pictures of the westerns fjords he was not amused. He also wanted to stop the tram outside the palace because he found it so noisy, and all the staff had to walk without shoes because he could not stand the noise of shoes on wooden floor, he and his wife left one day early

The 3 time Mette-Marit was at the Palace she decided to tell them all about her "past" when she was finnshed the King asked "is it more now?" No, she said, then the King said "We will manage this" he also talked to the PM Jens Stoltenberg who also agreed they would manage this. The King said they had to belive in Haakon as it was afterall they who raised him and he had faith Mette-Marit would manage it if she was given the chance

According to Hegge people at the palace had inquired into the hypotetical situation of a seperation but the King and Queen says they knows nothing about it

There are also rumours that some criminals wanted to kidnap Haakon in 2000 to use him to get some people out of jail, the King and Queen was worried and the fare that something might happen to Marius was one of the reasons H and MM was allowed to move together even if the King was against it, he say this way they all got proper protection
