LOL - the mind boggles. But if the whole British Royal Family somehow got killed in a terrorist attack, it could happen. As it happens, the UK and Norway enjoy the most friendly of relations.



Possibilities:

- Britain could get more interested in yachting (King Harald V has competed in this at the Olympics)

- smorgasbord would become part of British cuisine

- a revival of the speaking of Norn in the Shetlands (it was the Scandinavian native language there)

- a change in UK/US relations (King Harald V lived in Washington DC during WWII when the Norwegian royal family fled the country after the Nazi invasion, and still speaks English with a slightly American accent)

- a boost to Euro-sceptics (Norway has steadfastly stayed out of the European Union)

- Britain getting involved in the debate over whether Bokmal or Nynorsk should be the national language

- religious confusion. The British monarch has to be Supreme Governor of the Church of England, while King Harald V is head of the Church of Norway (Lutheran). Though both churches are part of the Porvoo Communion, which permits them to be totally interchangeable and for the priests of each to celebrate mass in the other, the doctrines are not quite the same.

When the future king of Norway, Olav V was born on 2 July 1903, I think he was #11 in the succession for the British throne, and he became the heir to throne of Norway at the age of 16 months when his father was elected king. (I did say elected, because there was an election).



The fact that he was so highly ranked in the British line of succession was considered a good thing by the citizens of Norway. Probably the main reason that his father was chosen as the king of Norway was that his wife was the daughter of the King of the UK.



The reason that a king had to be elected was that Norway had not been independent for centuries and had been part under the Swedish and Danish monarchs. One of the options in the election was not to have a king at all, and just become a republic.

===============================================

The advantage of making Carl, Prince of Denmark is that his son was 11th in the line of succession and was grandson of the King of England.So he was close to the throne, but still far enough away that he would never actually end up as King of England.

Being on the subject rely of a Royal would not make you Royal your self. you ought to be an instantaneous descendant, nonetheless a male line. I.e, the grandchild of the King, or some thing like that, and in undemanding terms from the King's sons. likely, you haven't any longer any identify. If, inspite of the shown fact that, you probably did, you will possibly have it under Norwegian regulation. Canadians won't be able to settle for the grant of a identify, a minimum of no longer formally, yet, in the event that they are born to it, it somewhat is advantageous. i comprehend countless titled human beings residing in Canada, yet, they do no longer "use" their titles right here. i do no longer comprehend the technique for claiming a identify there, yet, I advise doing countless learn first! you ought to properly known each and all the main factors till now even commencing to touch actual human beings. They get the "i'm I Norwegian Royalty" question from foreigners each and all the time i think (it occurs interior the united kingdom lots), and that i'm specific they simply roll their eyes. yet, in case you could cutting-edge information, and teach them the identify you think of you deserved, then, possibly. it is going to take countless artwork nonetheless. you won't be able to declare "a" identify, yet "the" identify, i.e., the specific one you're entitled to. If such even exists.

In the remote case that this happens, there will be a personal union of Norway UK and the other Commonwealth Kingdoms, but in any case Norway and UK won't be united.

1) Buckingham Palace would host smorgasbord dinners.

3) The Anglican and Lutheran churches would merge.

4) People living on the Shetland and the Orkney Islands would request dual citizenship.

Well, since that would require the deaths of 66 people, I'm not terribly worried about it.
