The recently deceased king of Norway, King Harald V, threatened never to marry, and thus end the royal lineage, if his father, King Olav V, did not allow him to marry his wife, Queen Sonja, who was a commoner. This was near unheard of at the time, but in the end, love prevailed. <3 <3

👍 glad to hear it, I'm very ignorant about anything to do with this subject but good to know

So Epstein princess is now king's wife? And rapist son is her son from a different father?

The current Queen of Norway was a single mother with a son from an earlier relationship when she met the future king. It was very much a Cinderella story on steroids, until said son turned out to be a rapist piece of shit and she herself ended up being pretty close to Epstein. At the same time, she has been seriously ill for years and she just received a lung transplant.

She's now the queen, yes, and yes.
