One day, he will be a great king.

I know I don't personally know this man but I think he will be a great King. There is just something about him that impresses me, that tells me he has a kind heart. One of the things, is the way he treats his three children. Any man that isn't embarrassed to love his wife and children, will make a great leader. I have always thought that Marius, IA and SM were extermely lucky to have him for a father and I think Norway will be very lucky to have him as a King.

So do I, he will make a wonderful king someday! But I hope King Harald will live for AT LEAST 10 more years

Haakon and Mette Marritt(spelling?) are some of the nicest people I've seen. They will make a great king and queen one day.

I guess that's quite obvious... I don't think that many princes goes around wanting to be a bad king...

The strenght of the norwegian monarchy of the house Glucksburg has been their ability to change with their people. So did Haakon's great-grandfather Haakon IIV, King Olav V and allthough it hasn't been that apparent over the reign of King Harald V a lot has changed in his reign. I think CP Haakon and CP Mette-Marit will adapt to the expectations and at the same time make their own place in history with their humanitarian projects.

I wish Prince Haakon will be a good King. Something saids me that he will. There is something in his looks that's makes me think in a good future sovereign.

I think that there is social changes (not all of them are exactly good), yes, and the hability of a good Monarch is to accept the good ones and to reject the others. It will be good, time to time, that a King or a Queen, changes with his/her personnal attitude, some little things that could be wrong and at the same time, could mark his/her time with his/her strong personnality. A good example of this was Queen Victoria. A whole era was nammed with her name. Hope Prince Haakon could be this kind of Monarch when his time comes to reign.
