The Commoner

Harald, the crown prince, is fresh out of military school and needs to restore his good name; King Olav presents him with various princesses and there are rumours of an impending marriage; Harald seems to be more interested in a common girl.

While Harald studies at Oxford, King Olav, grieving Crown Princess Märtha, hosts a birthday party filled with princesses; Harald longs for Sonja and his friends.

The press hunts for royal gossip, while Sonja fears losing herself if she joins the royal family; Queen Elizabeth pressures King Olav to address Harald's choice, as Harald battles between love and duty; with tensions high and rumours swirling, Harald delivers an ultimatum: only the King can decide their fate.

For nine years, Crown Prince Harald and commoner Sonja Haraldsen fight for their right to marry; the decision lies with the resistant King Olav, as the Norwegian constitution bars Harald from marrying without royal consent.
