In Norway there is a distinction between the Royal House (''kongehuset'') and the royal family (''kongelige familie''). The Royal House includes only the monarch and their spouse, the [[heir apparent]] and their spouse, and the heir apparent's eldest child. The royal family includes all of the sovereign's children and their spouses, grandchildren, and siblings.<ref name="konge">{{cite web|url=http://www.royalcourt.no/seksjon.html?tid=28435&sek=27259|website=www.royalcourt.no|publisher=Norwegian Royal Court|title=The Royal Family|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141025163427/http://www.royalcourt.no/seksjon.html?tid=28435&sek=27259|archive-date=2014-10-25}}</ref> The current royal family, and Royal House, maintains a high approval rating among the Norwegian people.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://royalcentral.co.uk/blogs/insight/how-popular-are-europes-monarchies-33508|title=How popular are Europe’sEurope's Monarchies?|last=Central|first=Guest PostsRoyal|date=2014-06-26|website=Royal Central|language=en-GB|access-date=2019-04-26}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newsinenglish.no/2016/01/15/royal-romance-raised-a-ruckus/|title=Royal romance raised a ruckus|website=www.newsinenglish.no|date=15 January 2016 |access-date=2019-04-26}}</ref>

The Norwegian monarchy, and its royal family, traces its history and origin back to the [[Unification of Norway|unification]] and founding of [[Hereditary Kingdom of Norway|Norway]], as well as Norway's first king, [[Harald I of Norway|Harald I]] of the [[Fairhair dynasty]]. With the introduction of the [[Norwegian Law of Succession]] in 1163, the legal framework established that only one monarch and one royal family was, through succession, allowed to rule.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kongehuset.no/artikkel.html?tid=27627&sek=26978|title=Rikssamling|website=www.kongehuset.no|language=no|access-date=2019-04-17}}</ref>

Norway, Sweden and Denmark had joint monarchs during the [[Kalmar Union]] in the late Middle Ages, and Norway remained in union with Denmark after Sweden [[Swedish War of Liberation|left the union in 1523]]. Following the [[Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein|reformation]] a joint [[Denmark-Norway|Danish-Norwegian state]] was established 1536-371536–37, which was ruled from [[Copenhagen]] by the [[House of Oldenburg]] until Norway was ceded to Sweden at the [[Treaty of Kiel]] in 1814 following Denmark-Norway's defeat in the [[Napoleonic Wars]]. Norway was [[Kingdom of Norway (1814)|briefly independent with its own king in 1814]], but forced into a new [[Union between Sweden and Norway|union with Sweden]] under the rule of the [[House of Bernadotte]].

The current king Harald V descends from all of the four kings belonging to the [[House of Bernadotte]] (1818-19051818–1905) that preceded the House of Glücksburg on the throne and is the first Norwegian monarch to be a descendant of '''''all''''' previous Norwegian monarchs since 1818.
