    Wait, the police are going after a royal, I thought that was impossible?!? (speaking from the UK where we clearly have a rapist and paedophile…)

      Only the king or queen (if rightful heir to the throne) is immune, in accordance with article 5 of the Norwegian codex.

      The king does have the right to pardon criminals though. He doesn’t exactly seem to be very fond of the kid though, and is generally seen as a very just man and close to the people.

        Having a head of state immune from criminal prosecution seems to be a thing Americans wouldn’t abide… right?
