People across the world are mourning the loss of Norway’s King Harald V. Alongside, they are also looking at his Queen Sonja, who has supported him through difficult times for nearly six decades. Interestingly, the Norwegian queen’s story is unlike other traditional royal romances. She was born a commoner, and their relationship endured several years of uncertainty before she received the nod to marry the future king.
Who is King Harald V’s wife, Queen Sonja?
Norway’s Queen Sonja was born Sonja Haraldsen and grew up far from royal life. She is the daughter of a cloth merchant and studied in Oslo before moving to Switzerland. She has completed her studies in accounting, fashion design, social sciences, French, English, and art history.
