The Norwegian royal family is once again making headlines after a new leak has revealed a previously unknown detail. Prince Haakon, heir to the Norwegian throne, has solid and surprising support outside the inner circle of his wife, Princess Mette-Marit.
This key figure in his private life is none other than Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, with whom he keeps a close, loyal, and deeply understanding relationship. This bond has been forged over the years and has been especially strengthened during the most turbulent moments the Norwegian heir has faced.
The media pressure on the Norwegian royal family has increased following the controversies surrounding Marius Borg, Mette-Marit's eldest son, whose life of excess has caused a wave of criticism. During this difficult period, Haakon has found an essential pillar in Victoria of Sweden. According to the Swedish outlet Aftonbladet, communication between the two has not only intensified, but has also taken on an intimate and personal character, far removed from official protocols.
Prince Haakon has strong support far from his private life with Mette-Marit
Victoria, who also keeps a close friendship with King Frederik X of Denmark, spoke openly about these ties in a recent Danish documentary.
In it, she confessed that both she and Prince Haakon exchange messages frequently, not only to discuss matters of state, but also to share personal concerns. "I think it's very important to have a relationship like this. It's necessary to be able to talk about things, and it gives a lot of reassurance to know that opportunity exists if you need it," the Swedish heir stated.
Haakon of Norway has managed to find great alliances in other monarchies
The statements have surprised both royal experts and the general public, as they reveal a little-known network of emotional support among young Scandinavian monarchs. Sources close to the Swedish court have confirmed that the tone of their conversations is usually relaxed, with a strong component of humor and camaraderie.
Victoria and Haakon have known each other since their teenage years, and their friendship has evolved over time. She herself has highlighted the protective and affectionate nature of the Norwegian prince, a quality that, it seems, has not gone unnoticed outside his closest family circle.
Thus, far from Mette-Marit and the spotlight of scandal, Haakon has found a steadfast and constant ally in Victoria. She is able to offer sincere support and understanding during the most complex moments of his public and private life.
