A series will be released in February about the love story of King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway!
Harald & Sonja arrives on Prime Video on February 14, 2025.


New trailer:
 
Oh, it’s finally a thing. Any Scandinavian reviews yet? Who’s playing Olav?

Who’s playing Olav?
To answer my own question, it’s Anders Baasmo Christiansen, reprising the role from Kongens Nei/The King’s Choice.

We’ll see if there’s any other continuity.
 
It will be annoying if they try to squeeze the narrative about Sonja's alleged suicide threats
Not really something good to add in these times and even less so in outside eyes
 
I hope it will be respectfully done and not too ”gossip-like”…

I’m generally suspicious of these films about royal families where most of the persons getting portrayed are still alive… It often becomes very gossip-like and sometimes also damaging…
 
In this case in think "La Borghese" does not stand for a female member of the famous family. It is the Italian term for a woman who is a commoner - which young Sonja was when she met Harald.

"I think" of course
 
It’s streaming in the U.S. starting today. The first two (of four) episodes are available in Prime.
 
Engagement and wedding:


New trailer shows how Sonja meets King Olav:
 
I thought walking down the aisle with a male relative wasn’t a Scandinavian custom?

I believe that in this case HM King Olav made the gesture to reinforce the fact that he publicly accepted Sonja as a suitable wife for his son and heir , also in recognition that her own Father had died many years earlier . IMHO both reasons are not only valid but understandable on the part of a loving, but pragmatic man, who was not only a Father , but also a King .
 
The series is currently streaming in Canada on Prime video. The title is “The commoner”; the audio is available in English, French and other languages including the original Norwegian.
I just started watching it.
 
I watched all four episodes of what is referred to as season 1 and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is truly a love story!
