Harald V isn't only the understanding, caring and down to earth king who fights for the weak, those who are bullied and those who are struggling with addictions etc. He is also the funny king - watch the videos in this article:

Translated by me:
In other news: The king was at the front page of Dagbladet today and was praised for the person he is. This is the newspaper that has wanted a republic for decades and who went to war against the monarchy in 2016.

Translated by me:
''What I primarily think of when I meet King Harald, is the laughter, humor and twinkle in his eyes. In the beginning there was perhaps a bit stiffer, and the humor was not so visible. But it has turned out in full bloom gradually, and creates the closeness he has to those he meet''.
The quote came from Prime Minister Erna Solberg when NRK interviewed her in connection with the 25th anniversary of the king and queen.
NRK has followed the royal couple at several state visits and missions, and many highlights the King's humor as a central feature.
''He has a wonderfully humor and loves to laugh. And so we do a lot'', said Queen Margrethe of Denmark.
''He is very funny. When he is socially confident and are in a setting where it is possible, then he is the very funny and has an incredibly quick comment'', said Crown Prince Haakon.
''I've had a lot of fun with the king. To be at the Council of State at the palace is a very solemn thing, the ministers stand up, deliver the papers, sits down in a certain way and say certain things. The ministers often gets a bit stressed by that, and then the king laughs. And then we all laughs together, and then it becomes a very liberating laughter in the room'', said Jens Stoltenberg.
