"Norwegian King Harald and Queen Sonja with a net worth of $30 M have annual expenses of up to $7 M to maintain their 9 homes. (That is frugal compared to Queen Elizabeth II' bill to UK citizens of $500 M for her 26 castles and such. But, of course, QE2's net worth is so much more.)
Thus, Norwegian royals are known to take public land and air transport. Children go to public or at best cathedral schools. It is common practice for them to have joint celebrations. Their sports is also rather common. Having participated in the Olympics thrice and winning Second Prize in the Sailing World Championship in Toronto at 79, King Harald took his family on a South African surfing holiday the next year."
No wonder they feel so secure hobnobbing with their people.
