Book presentation
The royal love story that changed Norway
How did the love story between Crown Prince Harald and Sonja Haraldsen become a turning point in Norwegian history? Drawing on her new book Harald og Sonja, author Inger Merete Hobbelstad takes the audience back to Norway in the 1960s, where the love between a future king and a commoner challenged the royal household, political authorities and the social norms of the time.
Through this fascinating story, Hobbelstad paints a vivid picture of a society in change, and of the love that helped shape modern Norway.
Inger Merete Hobbelstad is an author and cultural commentator at NRK. Her previous books include Å leve med Shakespeare, Årene med Elizabeth, De greske mytene and Krigen om Troja. Her latest book, Harald og Sonja, will be published in November 2026.
