King Harald V of Norway vowed to remain unmarried for life unless he could marry his true love, a commoner. He later married her and she became Queen Sonja of Norway.

Cool story bro
so they are not related? that’s very impressive as far as royal families go.

Always liked our royals, don’t much care for the concept of royalty, but they’ve always seemed like nice folks.
So if he didn’t marry and had no children, who would be the successor to the throne when he dies?
Fun fact: His oldest daughter, Märtha Louise, is currently dating American shaman and all-round crackpot grifter [Durek Verrett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durek_Verrett) (who recently claimed to be a [space reptile](https://www.world-today-news.com/i-am-a-hybrid-of-reptile-and-andromeda-nrk-culture-and-entertainment/)). If it weren’t for the fact the Norwegian constitution at the time of her birth mandated a male succession (setting up her little brother Håkon Magnus for the throne), that dude might have been our next king.
