'''King Harald V of Norway''' (born ''Prince Harald of Norway'' 21 February 1937 - 16 September 2025) was the King of Norway from 1991 to 2025. 

==Life==
Harald was born the third child and only son of '''King Olav V of Norway''' and '''Princess Martha of Sweden'''.

Harald became the heir to the throne upon his grandfather's death in 1957. He ascended to the throne upon his father's death in 1991.

Harald died of natural causes on 16 September 2025.

==Marriage and Issue==
Harald had a long-term relationship with a Norwegian commoner, '''Sonja Haraldsen''', in the late fifties and early sixties, but was forbidden by his father from marrying her. In 1968, Harald relented to his father's pressure and gave up Haraldsen. Soon after, Harald's engagement to his second cousin, '''Princess Christina of Sweden''', was announced in what was rumored to be an arranged marriage. They were married in Oslo on 29 August 1968. Harald and Christina had five children, '''Martha Louise, Haakon, Gustaf, Oscar,''' and '''Victor'''.
