Haakon has two aging parents who are in poor health, an aging aunt who also in bad health, a sister who hasn't visited reality in years, three nieces who have never done Royal duties,a stepson in prison, and two other children who have barely reached adulthood and are facing the loss of their mother. Who's his support system? I am sure his mother-in-law is helping, and friends are doing as much as possible, but Haakon is carrying burdens almost too heavy for anyone to bear.I can't imagine what he is going through. Prayers for Haakon, Mette-Marit, and their whole family.

Yes, it's situation that even 10 yr. ago no one including the Royal Family would have dreamed could occur. I know Haakon is quite close to Victoria of Sweden, always has been, she's not close family, but it's still a bond. We don't about close friends.

True, the Scandanavian royals will step up and be supportive but they have their own children to raise and their own duties at home. Haakon will be, effectively, the entire working monarchy. Mette-Marit isn't getting better, Harald and Sonja aren't getting younger, Martha Louise isn't coming back to earth any time soon and Ingrid Alexandra and Magnus haven't finished their educations. The Behn daughters havent' shown any interest in royal duties, and I think that covers all family members who are physical able to make appearances. The slimmed down monarchy is too skinny.
