The story of how Sonja and Harald met is so romantic! They were introduced by a mutual friend in 1959, and Harald was immediately smitten. But, their love was forbidden - at least, in the eyes of the royal family - because Sonja was a commoner, and Harald's parents didn't approve of their relationship.
Despite the odds, the couple continued to see each other in secret, exchanging love letters and sneaking around to avoid the press. It wasn't until 1968, nine years after they met, that Harald finally popped the question - and Sonja said yes! The royal family eventually came around, and the couple got married in a beautiful ceremony in Oslo Cathedral.
