The Norwegian King Harald V has died. His son Haakon is the new king. Haakon's daughter is studying in Sydney.
For heaven's sake or worldly sake: goodness! What has Death, that unbearably imaginative equalizer, come up with again in this royal case? What a record-breaking kaleidoscope of the all-too-human he has gathered around the coffin of the extremely popular Norwegian King Harald V, also known as the family.
It is downright British imperfect, this royal relative: in the front is the brave new King Haakon, loyal to the family, he too is highly esteemed, and his blameless daughter, who, like her brother, in the picture here behind her father, has disappeared to study abroad as far away from Norway as possible, which she is granted, Sydney.
