Harald V of Norway (born 1937)
Born 1937 CE.
Harald V (21 February 1937 – 28 August 2026) was the king of Norway from 1991 until his death in 2026. Born in Skaugum, Asker during the reign of his paternal grandfather, King Haakon VII, Harald was the third child and only son of Crown Prince Olav of Norway (later King Olav V) and Crown Princess Märtha of Sweden. Harald was second in the line of succession at the time of his birth, behind his father. In 1940, as a result of the German occupation during World War II, the royal family went into exile where Harald spent parts of his childhood in Sweden and subsequently the United States. After World War II ended in 1945, Harald returned to Norway, and later studied for periods at the University of Oslo, the Norwegian Military Academy, and Balliol College, Oxford. An active sportsman, Harald represented Norway in sailing at the 1964, 1968, and 1972 Olympic Games. In 1970, Harald was named the founding president of the Norwegian Sailing Federation.
