King Caught Speeding, but Escapes Fine
Mon Oct 21, 8:43 AM ET
OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's King Harald was caught speeding in his car but will escape a fine due to royal immunity, a Norwegian daily said on Saturday.
Verdens Gang said that King Harald was stopped while driving his private car 10 kph over the speed limit.
He will not pay a fine because Norway's 1814 constitution grants the monarch blanket immunity from prosecution for any crime or misdemeanor. An ordinary citizen would be fined about 1,000 crowns ($130) for the infringement.
