The duality of king Harald ❤️
One of the qualities that made king Harald so loved was his ability to empathize and show emotions. He didn’t rule from above, he walked beside us, through ups and downs. One image is taken of his speech during the July 22nd memorial, where he was visibly hurting as much as the rest of us. The other image was taken this summer, when he welcomed our National football team home from the World Cup, honoring their efforts and the joy they gave all of us. He was there, through the good and the bad. He was like a warm, funny and wise grandfather, always urging us to be inclusive and take care of each other, and reminding us that that Norway is all of us. Seeing all kinds of people grieve his passing today, is proof of how good he was at being the king of the people.
