He did not make any decision as he could choose to do or not doing the action, either the moment of dissolving it. At the moment that he could not choose, it is not his decision anymore. In all monarchies, the kings appoint the prime minister and signs the laws. So, under he-do-he-decides, he is also deciding ALL primer ministers, all laws and all political desitions. In Spain, only two (three, maybe) can give the order to the king to dissolve the parliament(s).

I remember the 1994 Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony in Lillehammer where the King of Norway entered the stadium in a horse drawn sleigh. Pretty cool moment.

You failed to mention the Australian wife of the heir to the Danish throne, Prince Frederick, Princess Mary. It is the first time an Australian has married into a royal family and it is not even to its own royal family.

Mark-Leon Thorne, and Mary is very popular in Denmark. She and Frederik make a great couple. They support each other and do many things together when representing Denmark or the Royal House. They are very relaxed around people they meet and Danes love that they don’t hide that even after nearly 15 years of marriage they are still crazy about each other. Mary has on many occasions been very outspoken about the desperate need around the world for improved rights for women and girls. She champions causes that promote the rights of women and children. As a Dane, I look forward to her becoming the Queen consort. I don’t think our Crown Prince could have found himself a better wife and I hope that they have many, many happy years ahead of them.

It was a common thing for the recent Danish heir/heiress to marry a foreigner.👌 Before her, Fred was crazy for a single mum and I've heard that she is a glossy mag model.😅 Mary is good for sticking to Fred throughout their marriage.👌

Fun fact about Willem Alexander: during his time as a student he was known as being something of a drinker and partier, so much that he got the nickname Prince Pils. Also, the paparazzi thing is kind of interesting, there is this legendary moment when he was a boy, where he was so tired of all the journalists following him, his parents and brothers on wintersport he literally told them the Dutch equivalent of "fuck off". A lot younger then, but it made the news.

King Harald spoke at my university graduation (my alma mater is very proud of its Norwegian heritage and periodically gets the royal family to visit). I remember thinking he sounded more like a Minnesotan than I had expected and this explains why. We gave him an honorary doctorate. During his speech he thanked the university for the doctorate and said that he was finally even with the Queen-we'd given her an honorary doctorate years ago and according to him, she always made sure he remembered that little detail! He also paraded around campus with dignitaries, and I purposely delayed moving out of my dorm til the last second so I could say I'd seen a king from my bedroom window.

I met King Willem Alexander a couple of years ago for Burendag (neighbors day) and he was absolutely lovely! He made clay figures with the kids and asked my mom about her projects for the neighborhood (without any press around)

I wonder if the monarchs of every country get on a live chat with eachother and play crusader kings😂👑

Excellent summary! I had no idea Harald V spoke English with an American accent. It reminds me of how my Chinese grandfather, despite never having lived in the United States, taught American English and always spoke English with an American accent. Fun fact: Crown Prince Haakon is a lover of music and has attended many music festivals; in fact, he celebrated his 40th birthday with a music festival organized by his family on his front lawn! He has even attended SXSW in 2018 to promote Norwegian music, and no doubt hung around for a concert or two. He may be my favorite among the future monarchs in Europe because he seems like he could be anyone's best friend.

Felipe is descended from Princess Beatrice, Victoria’s youngest child, and Princess Victoria, Victoria’s oldest child. Philippe isn’t descended from Queen Victoria, but his great-great-great grandfather was Leopold I, first king of the Belgians and Queen Victoria’s uncle. Willem-Alexander isn’t descended from Queen Victoria either, but he is descended from George II of Great Britain like the others.

Correction: the Japanese monarchy is the longest royal line today

The second-in-line heir to the throne of Denmark after his father is not Queen Margrethe's eldest grandchild. Her younger son Joachim actually got married first, and their first child, Nikolai, was born in 1999. Crown Prince Frederik was more known for his adventures and thus didn't settle down until a few years later.

The Japanese monarchy is actually older than the Danish according to tradition. The first Japanese monarch (or emperor) was Jimmu-tenno who reigned between 660 BC and 585 BC. The Japanese emperor is a direct descendant of Jimmu, and the imperial line is thought to be unbroken for 2600 years.
