Can This Royal Family Survive the Death of King Harald? | Eden's Royals

Sep 1, 2026 | King Harald V of Norway has died at the age of 89. A cousin of Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles, Harald was on the throne for 35 years and was known for ruling with compassion and kindness. However, in later years, his reign was blighted by three major scandals involving his own family.

With Harald gone, Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's Diary Editor, questions how the Norwegian Royal Family will cope. Will newly crowned King Haakon be able to overcome his wife Mette-Marit's links to Jeffrey Epstein, his stepson Marius Borg Høiby's crimes, and his sister Martha-Louise and brother-in-law Durek Verrett's accusations of racism?

All this and more on Eden's Royals - a new sister show of Palace Confidential.
