Norway's king actually responds to this kid's asinine request? Wow, that's what I call a nice guy.

Alot of European countries still have Kings and Queens as figure heads for their democratic governments. The UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden(?), at the very least.Kailias said:Wow, I truly had no idea Norway had a king.
Anyway I think it was really nice of the king to respond to the letter, and even nicer for denying his request. Could you imagine going around with a name like that?
Agreed.Onyx Oblivion said:Wow. That king is a pretty nice guy. Responds to letters...even though its likely someone acting as the king, now that I think about it.
Perhaps its best that he couldn't change his name to Sonic X. Knuckles would have been better.
I know that I wouldn't want to mess with someone named Knuckles.

As I said, figure head Just like our Queenie! Although technically she has the power to dissolve parliament, but only with its consent (like before an election; the previous parliament has to be dissolved first).Buffler said:Yes, Sweden got a King too. but He's not in charge of anything, he doesn't even have the right to vote here.Doug said:Alot of European countries still have Kings and Queens as figure heads for their democratic governments.

If its the same way in Norway, then i guess he's got time to reply to such letters.
Still a funny story, and it was nice of Harald to reply.
