is The King's Choice, which is about how King Haakon threatened to abdicate if the Storting capitulated to the Nazis and Quisling. The little boy Harald in the tv series is now the king of Norway. Another interesting thing about the series is that King Haakon, who was actually Danish, is speaking Danish, while Crown Princess Märtha, who was Swedish, is speaking Swedish along with the other members of the Swedish royal family, except that her mother Princess Ingeborg was speaking Danish; and mostly everybody else was speaking Norwegian and they could all easily understand each other - the Scandinavian languages are really just a collection of dialects.
