EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of familial bliss in the royal court of Norway. The image features Haakon VII, the first king of modern, independent Norway, flanked by his beloved wife, Queen Maud, and their young son, Olav V. Haakon, who was born as Prince Charles of Denmark in 1872, ascended to the Norwegian throne in 1906 following the country's secession from Denmark. His reign was marked by stability and unity, and he is fondly remembered as a symbol of Norwegian national identity. In this photograph, taken in 1957, the royal family exudes warmth and affection. Haakon, with his regal bearing and piercing gaze, looks proudly at his wife and son. Maud, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, gazes adoringly at her husband, while Olav, with a mischievous grin, rests his hand on his father's knee. The family's close bond is palpable, and the photograph offers a glimpse into the private lives of these historical figures. The photograph also serves as a reminder of Norway's rich and complex history. Haakon's reign marked the end of a long period of foreign rule, and his family's connection to Denmark adds another layer to the country's historical tapestry. Today, the legacy of Haakon VII, Maud, and Olav continues to inspire and captivate generations of Norwegians and history enthusiasts alike.
