This is interesting and has so many layers. Deurek has chequered past and people already dislike him and Martha Louise. People might have spoken for the goodwill for King and Queen. King’s speech in 2016 was really important at that point of time. I lived briefly in Norway when they were taking in refugees and they had many programs to integrate refugees with Norwegians. It is a small country with homogeneous population for long time. There has also been discrimination among their own indeginious groups. Obviously, racism happens in many context and it can’t be brushed. This defence must have been because of the messenger Durek is not well liked. Also, Norwegians view favourably their royal family (not sure how it is after recent series of scandals).
Harald and Sonja raised both Martha Louise and Haakon. And gave Little Marius all the princely privileges he used to assault women. They might not be racist but there’s something wrong with two of them AND their parenting style.
Their coked up, ugly, blonde little hobgoblin of a step grandson notwithstanding, since obviously his heinous crimes shouldn’t be covered up in the public’s attention by even more gossip fodder, that man is bold and has some audacity. How can he make these claims against that family when we all saw the warm reception he was given? The genuinely happy faces and wedding that was thrown didn’t seem to have the first racist overtone. Even with his many controversies, he was welcomed into the family with a lavish ceremony. They could have easily not attended (nor foot the bill) and have an easy out by doing so. They could have eviscerated him in the court of public opinion by saying they couldn’t condone such a union in this life, or any of his other past lives, by his preying on people during the pandemic and putting them at risk with his magical talisman cure. Poor King Harald 🙁 He should be going out with a gentle descent towards the end of his life with love and support from his country like Queen Elizabeth did. Instead it seems his twilight years are going to be filled with chaos and controversy due to his daughter and daughter-in-law bringing Mrs. Cleo and Gollum into the royal family 😢
It’s such a ridiculous take to claim that they were ignorant of racism, indeed. They may not have noticed it in particular contexts, but they are _known_ for being liberally minded and socially progressive on social issues (around race, sexuality, etc) and speaking on it for years. Various quotes from King Harald:
> Norwegians have come from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Poland, Sweden, Somalia and Syria…
> Norwegians are girls who love girls, boys who love boys, and girls and boys who love each other…
> Norwegians believe in God, in Allah, Everything and Nothing…
> Norwegians are young and old, tall and short, able-bodied and wheelchair users….
> My greatest hope for Norway is that we will be able to take care of one another. That we will continue to build this country – on a foundation of trust, fellowship and generosity of spirit. That we will feel that we are – despite our differences – one people. That Norway is one.
Have the king or queen spoken out against the racism their son-in-law received? If they haven’t then this is a terrible defense of them.
Are people actually going to take that scammer’s word on anything?
