| 15 | King | Haakon VII of Norway | 1872 | 1957 | Princess | Maud of Great Britain | 1869 | 1938 | See 1.25 &
2.12 - Haakon was previously Prince Carl of Denmark and was elected King of Norway 18 November 1905
following a plebiscite on 12/13 November 1905 (259,563 (78.9 %) voted for a Monarchy with 69,264 (21.1 %) voting against). Norway was joined with Denmark until 1814 when Denmark was forced to cede Norway to Sweden (on page 2) in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. Although Norway was to become a separate Kingdom it was to be united under the same crown (King of Sweden and Norway). However on 17 May 1814 Prince Christian Frederick of Denmark was elected King of Norway but following the Swedish-Norwegian war over Norway's claim to sovereignty he was forced to relinquish his claims to the Throne on 14 August 1814 and he returned to Denmark where on 13 December 1839 he ascended the Danish throne as Christian VIII. The Norwegian Parliament (Storthing) strove for complete independence which on 7 June 1905 led to the dissolution of the Union with Sweden. King Oscar II had refused to accept the resignation of the Norwegian Government over a resolution of appointing Norwegian Consuls as he did not see himself able to establish a new Government. On this basis the Storthing considered King Oscar II to have ceased to function as King of Norway. A plebiscite on 13 August 1905 returned 368,200 "Yes" votes and 184 "No" votes on the question of dissolving Norway's Royal Union with Sweden. King Oscar II of Sweden finally renounced the Norwegian throne on 26 October 1905. The new Throne was formally tendered to Prince Carl on 20 November 1905.

| 15.12 - QVD | Princess | Astrid of Norway | 1932 | Johan Martin Ferner | 1927 | 2015 | As if to emulate his future father in-law King Olav who was part of a four member team who won a gold medal in the 6m sailing event at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics, Johan Martin Ferner was
part of a five member team (Johan's brother Finn Christian) was also a member of the team) who won a silver medal in the 6m sailing
event at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Johan Martin Ferner was the son of Ferner Jacobsen and was born with the surname Jacobsen. By a Ministry of Justice license of 21 November 1927 Ferner Jacobsen's children Johan and and his two brothers Inger and Finn Christian were granted permission to assume the name Ferner. Hence Johan Martin Jacobsen became Johan Martin Ferner. It may be of interest to note that following the death of her mother Princess Martha and the marriage of her sister Ragnhild, Astrid took on the mantle as the first lady of Norway. It was reported in 1955 that Astrid had said to her grandfather King Haakon VII she would marry a Prince, this was seen as a token gesture to enable her sister Princess Ragnhild to be granted approval to marry commoner Erling Sven Lorentzen. The fact that Johan Martin Ferner had previously been married in 1953 followed by a divorce in 1956 was a cause of controversy in Norway. A brief report on the wedding of Princess Astrid and Johan Martin Ferner. Princess Margaret and her husband Antony Armstrong- Jones attended the wedding. |

| 15.13 - QVD | King | Harald V of Norway | 1937 | Sonja Haraldsen | 1937 | A report on the marriage of Prince Harald and Sonja Haraldsen. Although Prince Harald had known Sonja since 1959 it wasn't until 1968 that his father King Olav V gave permission for their marriage. In 1990 the Norwegian constitution was altered enabling the eldest child, regardless of gender to take precedence in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne. Somewhat complicated but this change did not apply retroactively which means for those born before the year 1971, Article 6 of the Constitution as it was passed on 18 November 1905 shall, however, apply. For those born before the year 1990 it shall nevertheless be the case that a male shall take precedence over a female. The first member of the royal family it applies to is Princess Ingrid Alexandra. This means that she takes precedence over her younger brother Prince Sverre Magnus, but her father Haakon continues to take precedence over his older sister, Princess Märtha Louise.

| 15.131 - QVD | Princess | Märtha Louise of Norway | 1971 | Ari Mikael Behn | 1972 | 2019 | Although Märtha Louise retains her rights to the Norwegian throne she voluntarily relinquished the style of Her Royal Highness (HRH) in 2002 (being substituted by Her Highness (HH)) whilst at the
same time keeping the title of Princess. In 1990 the Norwegian constitution was altered, granting cognatic primogeniture to the Norwegian throne, meaning that the eldest child, regardless of gender, takes precedence in the
line of succession. This was not, however, done retroactively, meaning that Märtha Louise's younger brother Crown Prince Haakon still takes precedence over her in the line of succession. It is interesting to note that when Märtha Louise was only 2 days old there were reports indicating a fresh debate among Norwegians had begun about the succession of a princess to the throne. Ari Behn was born Ari Bjørshol but he later took his maternal grandmother's unmarried name. He took his own life on Christmas Day 2019. The funeral serice for Ari Behn. |
