| The Commoner |
The Commoner is an extraordinary tale of how Norway's king and queen fought for nine long years for their love for each other. The series portrays how they met and kept their impossible relationship alive. The opposition was significant because never before had a European heir to the throne married a commoner. The marriage of a crown prince to someone from the people would send shockwaves to the political leadership and the European royal families.
