A recent survey conducted by Norstat for NRK reveals that 36% of Norwegians have developed a more negative view of the monarchy.

This shift in perception is largely attributed to controversies involving Princess Märtha Louise, her fiancé Durek Verrett, and Marius Borg Høiby.

Only 5% of respondents reported a more positive view, while 55% remain unchanged.

The survey highlights a broader decline in support for the monarchy as a form of governance, with only 68% of Norwegians now in favor, down from 81% in 2017. The Norwegian royal family, including King Harald and Queen Sonja, faces challenges in maintaining public trust amidst these controversies.
