Monarchist Quote

When Norway became independent in 1905, American newspapers rejoiced that a 'new republic' was being born. Imagine their disappointment when Norway chose monarchy!

 From The Mad Monarchist (20 November 2012)


“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.”

-King Harald V of Norway, 2005

    Norway has one of highest percentages of popular support among the European monarchies from what I have see: around 80 per cent
