The Mad Monarchist has quoted His Majesty King Harald V from 2005:

We have been given an assignment as a monarchy, and we do as well as we can…We try to be as little populistic as possible. We don’t do anything on the spur of the moment to win an opinion poll, or short-term popularity.

Princess Ragnhild, RIP

Princess Ragnhild of Norway passed away in her home in Rio de Janeiro last Sunday.

She was the first born to Crown Prince Olav, the then future King, and Crown Princess Märtha. She was eight months short of celebrating her diamond wedding anniversary.

She publicly voiced her opinion on the choice of consorts for her nephew and niece in 2004.

Requiescat in pace!

Trond Norén Isaksen reports that an opinion poll shows strong support for the monarchy, but that many want the monarch's powers further curbed. I would emphasize that the support for retaining the present powers – given the democratist age that we are in – is quite high; more than 40 percent for both issues mentioned.
