A monarchist abusing his position of power.
Who. Would've. Thunk.
To be fair, he doesn't have a title or any official position of power. His mother already had him when she met and later married the crown prince of Norway. But everyone in Norway knows who he is and he's definitely very privileged, so he may have abused that fact..
Heh a royal patchwork family then. I guess as a non blood relative to the crown prince he wouldn't be in the line of succession?
Not at all, no. He's not part of the royal family.
ew not the blood of common folk. it's got to be ~~inbred~~ pureblood to be worthy.
Correct!
The royals are quite decent and cool. I'm in principle for getting rid of the monarchy, but this gang is so chill I'm ok with not making a fuss. Except for this shitstain. And the crown prince's sister. And her charlatan husband. In fact, only the hereditary bloodline is good. It's almost like some divine magic, or that they got all the good attention and the others have useless sibling syndrome.
not from there but in principle i don't care how chill they or any so-called royals are. they shouldn't have the position even in name, not to mention probably having a ton of shit they never earned.
I don't think he really has a position of power. And it could well be that this costs him the chance for the crown.
I don’t think he ever actually had a chance at the crown; He was born before his mother married the crown prince. His younger siblings would have a potential claim since they’re the prince’s kids, but he wouldn’t any claim since he’s not the prince’s child. He’s even excluded from some of the royal portraits.
He has no ties at all into royalty. He can never be royalty unless he forms an army and goes to war for the Crown or something.
It's always the ones you most expect...
What an absolute piece of shit, I hope his "rank" doesn't stop him from going to jail...
Judge:
... Something something... suffering from affluenza... Not guilty!
In Norway? I'm going to guess justice will be served. Coming from an American.
It’s always the ones you suspected the most.
Wait, the police are going after a royal, I thought that was impossible?!? (speaking from the UK where we clearly have a rapist and paedophile...)
Police investigation concludes “boys will be boys”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thats the precise sentiment in Norway for all youths, no matter the gender
Dude looks inbred
Keep in mind he is literally a child of the unprivileged commoners, so poking at his origins or genetics is not "punching up". His mom is from a lower class family with drug and alcohol abuse problems, and she had him before meeting the prince.
Just poke at his personality or actions. There's plenty there.
TIL that the pinnacle of social democracy has a crown prince
It’s a monarchy in name
That't not Høiby. He's the son of a crown princess.
You didn't know that Scandinavia has monarchies?
This dude isn't the crown Prince though, or even a royal
People are surprised monarchs are rapists. Centuries of inbreeding do not produce healthy minds.
Just FYI, he is the crown princess’s son, from before she was married to the crown prince. He isn’t part of the royal family or their blood line. He’s just a pos stain that won’t take responsibility for his actions or life. He’s a sad sad person.
Confirmed bastard in every sense then.
Everyone knows that the crown princess of Norway is a HUGE whore
Generational wealth and power, does not produce healthy minds.
The inbreeding was a side effect of an already broken system.
Basically irl Joffrey Baratheon
Based on the photo yes. The reality is a bit more nuanced and interesting if you ask me.
The European backwaters and their undeveloped political system of monarchies
Yeah can you imagine scoring lower on a democracy index than this monarch ridden backwater.. oh they're #1, my country is #9 and the US is #28. Oops.
Jokes are hard
That being said, I tinke very single monarch should be unmonarched
Guillotines bruh. For all royalty, including those elected.
Dude looks like the personification if fetal alcohol syndrome.
Dude fuckin looks like Eddie from Mobland.
Acts like it too, apparently.
Fuck the police! ACAB.
Stepson. Not a born royal, nor one that the royal family accepts as one of their own. Nobody seems to like him.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
