I have a different perspective. No one are higher in the social hierarchy than the king. The fact that no one can buy themselves an equal or higher standing is valuable. When the king, like our line of kings, choose to ground themselves, to lift up the value of the ones on the bottom, it sets precedent for other “high status individuals”. It generates stigma for over-indulgence when even the king will abstain. That is if they do their part. Which is the tradition of kings in Norway.

I’m negative to monarchy in general, but in Norway’s case it works. Signed fellow Norwegian
