Answer

If he couldn't marry Sonja, King Harald V of Norway threatened to remain unmarried. He and Sonja were in love, but Sonja was a commoner and her family did not approve of the match. King Harald was determined to marry Sonja, and he eventually won over her family. They were married in 1968, and have been together ever since.
