Following the [[Reformation in Denmark–Norway and Holstein\|reformation]] a joint [[Denmark-Norway\|Danish-Norwegian state]] was established ~~1536-37~~1536–37, 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]]. Upon becoming independent in 1905, Norway decided through a [[1905 Norwegian monarchy referendum\|referendum]] to remain as a monarchy, with its first monarch being the Danish-born [[Haakon VII of Norway\|King Haakon VII]], whose family consisted of the British [[Maud of Wales\|Princess Maud]] and their son [[Olav V of Norway\|Olav]]. It is King Haakon's descendants that today make up the current royal family of Norway. Line 16 ⟶ 18: Through marriages and historical alliances, the Norwegian royal family is closely related to the [[Swedish royal family\|Swedish]] and [[Danish royal family\|Danish]] royal families as well as being more distantly related to royal families of [[Greek royal family\|Greece]] and the [[British royal family\|United Kingdom]].<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.royalcourt.no/slektstre.html?tid=28695&sek=27317\|title=The Family tree\|website=www.royalcourt.no\|language=en\|access-date=2020-05-06}}</ref> The current king Harald V descends from all of the four kings belonging to the [[House of Bernadotte]] (~~1818-1905~~1818–1905) 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. ==Members== '''Members of the Royal House are:''' '''[[Harald V of Norway\|King Harald V]] (The ~~King~~Monarch) <br >[[Queen Sonja of Norway\|Queen Sonja]] (The ~~Queen~~ Consort)''' [[Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway\|Crown Prince Haakon]] (The Crown Prince (The King's son and heir apparent)) <br> [[Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway\|Crown Princess Mette-Marit]] (The Crown Princess (The King's daughter-in-law)) *[[Princess Ingrid Alexandra of Norway]] (The King's granddaughter) Line 28 ⟶ 30: [[Prince Sverre Magnus of Norway]] (The King's grandson) * Marius Borg Høiby (The King's step-grandson) <!--< Please do not delete this!
