=== Marriage ===
{{main|Wedding of Harald, Crown Prince of Norway, and Sonja Haraldsen}}
Harald married [[Sonja Haraldsen]] at [[Oslo Domkirke]] in Oslo on 29 August 1968. The pair had dated for nine years, but Olav was reluctant to allow his son to marry a [[commoner]]. Olav only relented when Harald told his father that if he was not allowed to marry Sonja he would not marry at all. This would have ended the reign of his family and the Norwegian monarchy, as Harald was the sole heir to the throne. The couple had two children, [[Princess Märtha Louise]] and [[Crown Prince Haakon]], [[heir apparent]] to the Norwegian throne.
