Velkommen Din Majestet!

The Royal Succession was changed quite recently which gave the people at the Royal Website something to do as they had to change the list of Royal Succession to shoehorn in the bra wearing Royal's so now the Royal line is The Prince of Wales then his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Despite his pleading for privacy as he goes on tours of TV studio's giving interviews, Harry has gone from the Spare to the heir to the spare, spare, spare, spare spare as he has been bumped down the list to fifth in line but after the senior royals and their offspring hogging the top  places, we get into who the f...? territory and apparently there are 4,973 people on the succession list and while it is doubtful that i am on their anywhere, as a lot of them will be together in Westminster Abbey on 6th May, what happens if the roof falls down on the lot of them?
Not that i am hoping it does but since it was built in 1052 by Edward the Confessor, that's a very old and very heavy roof above their heads so if the worst does happen, who isn't going to be there but could get a phone call to pop along to Buckingham Palace for a crown fitting?
The obvious omissions are Harry's kids Archie and Lillibet but as Harry and Meghan have poo-pooed the whole Royal thing then its unlikely they will be asked so looking down the list of succession and comparing it to the invitation list, the first person we come across who won't be present is number 62, HM King Harald V of Norway who is staying in Scandinavia and sending his son instead.
The last time England had a Norwegian king was in 1016 when King Canute took the throne and sat on the seashore and commanded the tide not to touch his feet, which the sea roundly ignored and wet the royal slippers.
Now that would throw up some very interesting questions such as would Norway and Great Britain become one nation or would Britain become a territory of Norway such as Greenland or we have to give up our Sunday Roasts for Fårikål (Mutton and Cabbage), Rømmegrøt (Sour Cream Porridge) and Fiskeboller i Hvit Saus (Fish Balls with Béchamel Sauce)?
We could put our football teams together, i'm sure we could find a place in the team for Martin Ødegaard and Erling Haaland and as Lapland covers the North of Norway, we would have direct access to Father Christmas so all sounds good to me so if you hear a voice shouting 'One more whack and i think it will go' in a Norwegian accent then dig out those Fair Isle Style Jumpers and Alfa boots and learn the Norwegian for Welcome Your Majesty.
