A murit Regele Harald al V-lea al Norvegiei: Avea 89 de ani și era cel mai în vârstă șef de stat din Europa

King Harald V of Norway, the oldest head of state in Europe, passed away at 89 after a gradual decline in health. He reigned since 1991, becoming a respected figure in Norwegian public life. Born on February 21, 1937, he was the son of King Olav V and Princess Märtha. His childhood was marked by World War II, leading to the royal family's exile. Harald had a military education and was a passionate sailor, representing Norway in three Olympic Games. He married Sonja Haraldsen in 1968, breaking royal tradition. They had two children, Princess Märtha Louise and Crown Prince Haakon, who will succeed him. Recent scandals have affected the royal family's image, particularly involving Crown Princess Mette-Marit and her son Marius Borg Høiby.
