The only thing that truly worries me is if The King and The Crown Prince is not worried at all - or chooses to not intervene to escape more angry outbursts from M-L and Durek in the newspapers and on social media…. That would not be a good sign for the future of the norwegian monarchy
Like Trond Norén Isaksen has already written, with the aging King and Queen, the King being fragile, Crown Princess Mette Marit being chronically ill and is not expected to be able to increase her engagements, Princess Astrid being 92, and Ingrid and Magnus still in their educational years, the number of engagements that the Norwegian RF can undertake is being more and more reduced for every year now when only Haakon works full time…. Haakon is luckily a very healthy and fit man and is not (according to himself) working anywhere near full capacity…. But he is only one person…. And The King being fragile means that no outgoing state visits can be undertaken, wich means a lot less media coverage compared to nearly all the other heads of state…
The empty space in the media that is left by a shrinking royal family and engagements that cannot be undertaken is then filled by M-L and Durek and their combined idiocy…. Not because they have done anything good and not because anyone likes them but because they are the only ones visible….
So it’s really not a surprise that the previously rock solid public support for the norwegian monarchy has began to shrink, and shrink rapidly…. Because the Norwegian population are not dumb… They see as much as anyone else what is happening…. My only fear is that Harald and Haakon does not…. The line of communication between them and Märtha seems to be non-existent
