To be fair, he doesn't have a title or any official position of power. His mother already had him when she met and later married the crown prince of Norway. But everyone in Norway knows who he is and he's definitely very privileged, so he may have abused that fact..
Heh a royal patchwork family then. I guess as a non blood relative to the crown prince he wouldn't be in the line of succession?
Not at all, no. He's not part of the royal family.
ew not the blood of common folk. it's got to be
inbredpureblood to be worthy.Correct!
The royals are quite decent and cool. I'm in principle for getting rid of the monarchy, but this gang is so chill I'm ok with not making a fuss. Except for this shitstain. And the crown prince's sister. And her charlatan husband. In fact, only the hereditary bloodline is good. It's almost like some divine magic, or that they got all the good attention and the others have useless sibling syndrome.
not from there but in principle i don't care how chill they or any so-called royals are. they shouldn't have the position even in name, not to mention probably having a ton of shit they never earned.
I don't think he really has a position of power. And it could well be that this costs him the chance for the crown.
I don’t think he ever actually had a chance at the crown; He was born before his mother married the crown prince. His younger siblings would have a potential claim since they’re the prince’s kids, but he wouldn’t any claim since he’s not the prince’s child. He’s even excluded from some of the royal portraits.
He has no ties at all into royalty. He can never be royalty unless he forms an army and goes to war for the Crown or something.
We call him Temu-Joffrey in Norway.
🤣
It's always the ones you most expect...
What an absolute piece of shit, I hope his "rank" doesn't stop him from going to jail...
Judge:
... Something something... suffering from affluenza... Not guilty!
I hope it does. I'm trying to marry into royalty so I can have carte blanche to do whatever I want. Like eat pancakes for dinner. Or eat pancakes for lunch. Or have a second helping of pancakes for breakfast. Really, just more pancakes.
Damn pansexuals.
You could simply go to Austria and do that. Palatschinken is acceptable for any meal and delicious.
It’s always the ones you suspected the most.
He looks like that one jerkface kid Eddie from MobLand.
Immediately thought this, but there's something worse about him (which makes sense, since Eddie is a character played by an actor who, I'm guessing, isn't actually a vile and pathetic person).
😬…One would hope…
Thus suffers from the same problem "Adolescence" did; the writing and role is believable enough and the actor looks like they could be as despicable.... but then you somehow don't believe the actor to be that big of a cunt.
Joffrey doesn't suffer from that, Jack Gleeson is such a brilliant actor I never doubted he could be such a massive cunt. But I know he isn't. But he made me believe it.
Like Eddie and the kid in Adolescence both have too much humanity showing through.
It’s so freaking weird that in 2025 we still have these inbred families we’re supposed to believe are better than all of us and we should worship them because, reasons. And even worse, there are a bunch of people who like having a family of useless people to worship and will continue to defend monarchy
To be faaaaaaaair, he's not inbred, he's a result of a prior relationship before his mom married the prince.
More like elevated white trash, really.
Wait, the police are going after a royal, I thought that was impossible?!? (speaking from the UK where we clearly have a rapist and paedophile...)
Police investigation concludes “boys will be boys”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thats the precise sentiment in Norway for all youths, no matter the gender
Only the king or queen (if rightful heir to the throne) is immune, in accordance with article 5 of the Norwegian codex.
The king does have the right to pardon criminals though. He doesn't exactly seem to be very fond of the kid though, and is generally seen as a very just man and close to the people.
Having a head of state immune from criminal prosecution seems to be a thing Americans wouldn't abide... right?
Can monarchies die already
I know nothing about this guy aside from this headline but that checks out.
TIL that the pinnacle of social democracy has a crown prince
It’s a monarchy in name
Not really. They spend a lot of taxpayer money on these useless, inbred royals. Money that should instead go to the people.
That't not Høiby. He's the son of a crown princess.
You didn't know that Scandinavia has monarchies?
This dude isn't the crown Prince though, or even a royal
Basically irl Joffrey Baratheon
Based on the photo yes. The reality is a bit more nuanced and interesting if you ask me.
Dude looks like the personification if fetal alcohol syndrome.
Now that you mention, yeah, he does.
People are surprised monarchs are rapists. Centuries of inbreeding do not produce healthy minds.
Just FYI, he is the crown princess’s son, from before she was married to the crown prince. He isn’t part of the royal family or their blood line. He’s just a pos stain that won’t take responsibility for his actions or life. He’s a sad sad person.
Confirmed bastard in every sense then.
... No? That is not how a bastard works. She married into the royal family but had a kid before. A bastard would be her having an affair and giving birth to a kid while married into the family already. Or the prince fathering a kid with someone else other than the wife. This is just "a kid from a previous marriage / relationship".
That is not how a bastard works. To be clear, all of this is archaic, I'm not actually calling anybody a bastard, but the definition of bastard is "a child born to parents who are not married to each other." He matches that definition because his parents were never married.
Affairs don't come into it, it's just some old bullshit cultural and religious ideals about which types of relationships (just the one: heterosexual marriages) children are "supposed" to be born into.
Were his parents not married? The statement above doesn't say that, just that she had him prior to her current marriage. People can be married multiple times.
Yeah, he was reportedly conceived in a casual encounter. His parents weren't in an ongoing relationship and the father didn't remain very involved in either of their lives.
Everyone knows that the crown princess of Norway is a HUGE whore
Generational wealth and power, does not produce healthy minds.
The inbreeding was a side effect of an already broken system.
Dude looks inbred
Keep in mind he is literally a child of the unprivileged commoners, so poking at his origins or genetics is not "punching up". His mom is from a lower class family with drug and alcohol abuse problems, and she had him before meeting the prince.
Just poke at his personality or actions. There's plenty there.
I was wondering what is Eddie Harrigan up to before season 2!
Stepson. Not a born royal, nor one that the royal family accepts as one of their own. Nobody seems to like him.
Dude fuckin looks like Eddie from Mobland.
Acts like it too, apparently.
I don't think he's anywhere in the line of succession regardless. He's the son of the Crown Princess (by marriage) but not of the Crown Prince. i.e. His mother had him as a result of a prior relationship, then married the Crown Prince, making him the stepson of the man who will one day be king, but not really anything on his own account. Besides a rapist.
Morality and nobility have never known each other, friend.
Fuck the police! ACAB.
The European backwaters and their undeveloped political system of monarchies
Yeah can you imagine scoring lower on a democracy index than this monarch ridden backwater.. oh they're #1, my country is #9 and the US is #28. Oops.
Jokes are hard
That being said, I tinke very single monarch should be unmonarched
