Haldor VII (born 7 June 1945) is the King of the Delkorans, reigning since 12 December 1974. He is the son of Queen Charlotte III and King Consort Heinrik.
Youth and education
Haldor was born in 1945 to Queen Charlotte III and King Consort Heinrik at the royal family's summer retreat of Konjurhus in Baerendir, Cybria. In a break with tradition, his mother enrolled him in state school in Norenstal rather than having him attend a prestigious private institution. This was part of her larger efforts to modernize the monarchy and increase public confidence in the institution. He was later accepted into Gothendral University, where he began studying political science and history. In 1962, while studying at Gothendral, Haldor met his future wife, Elsa Borgrensen, and the two later married in 1967.
After graduating from university in 1965, he spent two years at the Royal Air Force Academy, followed by a year of active duty service in the Royal Air Force as a pilot. After completing his military service, Haldor returned to Gothendral University, obtaining a masters degree and later a PhD in political philosophy in 1976.
Following the abdication of his mother in 1974 due to poor health, Haldor was coronated, ascending to the throne as King Haldor VII.
Reign
Haldor continued the modernizing reforms started by his mother. Like her, he had an informal personal style and sought to reduce the pageantry that had historically surrounded the Delkoran monarchy. Early on, he established himself as a down-to-earth monarch who frequently made unscheduled public appearances and would often agree to television interviews. Following the new precedent established by his mother, he enrolled his children in Norenstal's state schools.
At the 1987 state opening of parliament, he broke somewhat with convention by explicitly calling on the Federal Parliament to do more to address the issue of climate change in his royal address, leading many Conservative MPs to accuse him of overstepping his role as a constitutional monarch, although he stopped short of calling for specific policies.
Major events that have occurred during his reign have included the implementation of the final phases of the New Kingdom program under Geirbjørn Feldengaard, the neoliberal conspiracy riots and Siege of Gothendral in 1990–1991, the 2012 Norenstal Subway Bombings, the Nalayan Civil War, and the 2017 Arzell Crisis.
