His Majesty King Harald V of Norway’s Commencement Speech at Pacific Lutheran University HD

[@thefriedmind]

He gives the vibes of a very good man even through a screen. May he continue to reign many more years!

[@niamhoconnor8986]

Fun fact: As a child, (then Prince) Harald lived in exile in Washington D.C. during WWII.

[@HelleKurstein]

Fun? Very serious fact!

A bit like a kind grandfather addressing young folks.

[@匿名的-1]

A lot of Norwegians do think of him as the nation's grandfather.

[@pauljordan4452]

Norway may or may not have a coronation - yet King Harald's velvet bonnet is his crown here.

[@colindunn7583]

What a delightful man

[@mikaedelbeck6254]

Long live the King

[@bluesky4385]

He speaks English like an American

[@twilliandawn3184]

That’s because he lived in America for a few years when he was a child and gained a American accent

What the others have said. He and his mother and sisters lived in Washington, DC during WW2. He was present at FDR's fourth inaugural.

Wishing you a Happy Father's Day, Your Majesty King Harald V. I would love to see your son the Crown Prince Haakon Magnus become King Haakon Magnus I. Imagine how happy ever Ola Norman will feel, and especially Liv Alexander the granddaughter of Eric the Red -- Vic Alexander

[@Abdisa-sj2fq]

@Borax Kid or even maybe Haakon VIII Magnus.

[@carltomacruz9138]

His accent is quite American, I must say.

[@ruralsounds7479]

He spent part of his youth in the US during WW2.

[@birkstnan5527]

Carl Tomacruz he grew up from 5-11 years old partly in the White House and a house on the outskirts of Washington DC during the war, so he is not foreign to the language

[@pauljordan4452]

@@ruralsounds7479 Nevertheless, a lot of Scandinavians spent time in the US on exchange, like a late uncle of mine.

[@daniellesobelman9434]

He definitely sounds likes he an American! After all he spent part of his childhood here!

[@amymarie8169]

His mother and two sisters fled Sweden first and Sweden wasn’t too happy (mom was a Swedish Princess) because they felt like she was threatening Sweden’s neutrality. Which resulted in Princess Märtha, Harald’s two sisters, and Harald himself went to the States when the n@zi’s invaded and took over Norway. Throughout the war, the family stayed at the White House. That is why Harald speaks English with a American accent.
