THE NORWEGIAN ROYAL FAMILY & KLAUS SCHWAB'S GLOBAL NETWORK - 2005–2019 — documented timeline
2005 — Haakon enters the network
VERIFIED
Crown Prince Haakon attended his first Davos meeting in 2005 and was selected as a member of the newly established Young Global Leaders (YGL).
The Norwegian Royal Court says explicitly that he was a YGL member from 2005 until autumn 2010.
This is the beginning of the documented relationship:
World Economic Forum → Young Global Leaders → Crown Prince Haakon
2006 — Global Dignity
VERIFIED
Through YGL, Haakon met Finnish philosopher Pekka Himanen and American businessman John Hope Bryant.
The three subsequently founded Global Dignity in 2006.
The Royal Court specifically says the relationship developed through a YGL meeting.
This is an important example of what the YGL network actually did: it brought selected young international leaders together and facilitated projects that subsequently operated internationally.
2009 — Haakon leads a WEF/YGL project
VERIFIED
Haakon was given responsibility for coordinating the YGL contribution to the Global Redesign Initiative (GRI).
The WEF had launched GRI in January 2009. Its purpose was to develop proposals for addressing major global problems and improving international cooperation. The Norwegian Royal Court says approximately 3,000 experts and leaders contributed to the broader process.
The six areas included:
- values
- governance
- education and youth
- health
- climate/environment
- economics
This was therefore substantially more than simply attending a conference.
2010 — Haakon and the Global Redesign Initiative
VERIFIED
Haakon continued leading the YGL work on GRI.
In January 2010 he chaired a WEF discussion involving figures including Michael Froman, Indra Nooyi, Samir Al-Rifai and George Yeo.
Then, in May 2010, he participated in the Global Redesign Summit in Doha, where 58 proposals concerning international cooperation were presented.
This is probably the most significant part of Haakon's early WEF involvement.
October 2010 — Haakon joins the YGL governing board
The Norwegian Royal Court makes the relationship unusually explicit:
Haakon's membership period as a YGL ended, and he moved onto the board of the Young Global Leaders Foundation, described as YGL's highest governing body.
And the Royal Court states:
"Styreleder er grunnleggeren av World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab."
In English:
The chairman of the board was Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum.
That is primary-source evidence for a direct institutional connection between Haakon and Klaus Schwab's organization.
2010 — Mette-Marit enters
VERIFIED
On 3 March 2010, the WEF announced its Young Global Leaders for 2010.
Mette-Marit was among 197 people from 72 countries selected that year.
The selection committee was chaired by Queen Rania of Jordan.
Thus:
Haakon — YGL from 2005
Mette-Marit — YGL from 2010
They were therefore both members of the same WEF leadership network.
2011 — both at Davos
VERIFIED
January 2011 is particularly revealing because the Royal Court provides a detailed description.
Mette-Marit attended the YGL seminars immediately before the Davos meeting. It was her first World Economic Forum annual meeting.
Meanwhile Haakon:
- attended Davos for the sixth time;
- had been a YGL since 2005;
- had just entered the YGL board;
- chaired the YGL-related work on Global Redesign;
- participated in the YGL leadership structure.
The couple also attended a panel involving Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and other Nordic heads of government.
2012 — Mette-Marit becomes a bridge to the next generation
VERIFIED
This is another important development.
WEF established the Global Shapers Community, aimed primarily at people aged approximately 20–30.
Mette-Marit became the Founding Curator and mentor of the Oslo Hub. The first Oslo gathering was held at Skaugum, the Crown Prince's residence.
The Royal Court explicitly says:
the Oslo group was connected to the international Global Shapers network, with its foundation in the World Economic Forum.
And it says that the young Norwegians were intended to be Norway's young voice into WEF.
So Mette-Marit's role was not simply honorary.
She helped establish the Norwegian branch of a WEF-linked international network.
2012 — Davos
VERIFIED
At Davos in January 2012, Mette-Marit worked with other YGL members to bring the voices of Global Shapers into the Davos debate.
The Royal Court describes Global Shapers as operating alongside YGL within the WEF structure.
2015 — both are deeply embedded
VERIFIED
The Royal Court reported that Haakon was a board member of YGL, while Mette-Marit worked with Global Shapers.
It also says several of the Crown Prince's activities had grown directly out of his WEF involvement.
By this point the structure looked like this:
Klaus Schwab / WEF
↓
Young Global Leaders
↓
Haakon — former YGL, then YGL board
and
Mette-Marit — YGL
↓
Global Shapers
↓
Oslo Hub
This is a documented institutional network.
2016 — both remain in WEF young-leader structures
VERIFIED
The Royal Court reported that Haakon remained on the YGL board and Mette-Marit sat on the board of the Global Shapers Community.
The WEF's own biography also identifies Mette-Marit as:
- Young Global Leader
- Member of the Global Shapers board
- Member of a WEF Global Agenda Council
- Founding Curator of the Oslo Hub.
2017 — both still on boards
VERIFIED
This is probably the strongest documented year for their joint organizational involvement.
The Norwegian Royal Court states that both Haakon and Mette-Marit had board positions in the Forum's young-leader divisions and attended board meetings during the Davos week.
Haakon also presented a WEF/Young Global Leaders Circulars Award in Davos.
2017 — Haakon leaves the YGL board
VERIFIED
The Royal Court subsequently records that Haakon left the YGL board in 2017.
This is an important correction to my previous response.
It means we should not describe him as a YGL board member after 2017.
2019 — WEF continues
VERIFIED
The Royal Court records Haakon attending Davos in 2019. It also repeats his history:
- first Davos meeting: 2005
- YGL member: 2005–2010
- YGL board: 2010–2017.

🟢 VERIFIED
1. Haakon was a WEF Young Global Leader.
2. Mette-Marit was a WEF Young Global Leader.
3. Haakon participated in YGL from its creation in 2005.
4. Haakon led the YGL work connected with the Global Redesign Initiative.
5. Haakon became a board member of the YGL Foundation in 2010.
6. Klaus Schwab was chairman of that board.
7. Mette-Marit became a YGL in 2010.
8. Mette-Marit established/mentored the Oslo Global Shapers Hub.
9. Both participated in Davos repeatedly.
10. Both held positions in WEF young-leader structures in 2017.
11. Haakon left the YGL board in 2017.
These points are supported by the Norwegian Royal Court and/or WEF itself.
The most striking documented fact
If this dossier is intended for publication, I think the strongest formulation is this:
Norway's future king entered Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum network in 2005 as a Young Global Leader. He subsequently led the YGL's contribution to the WEF's Global Redesign Initiative and, in 2010, joined the governing board of the Young Global Leaders Foundation, whose chairman was Klaus Schwab. His wife, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was selected as a Young Global Leader in 2010 and later became founding curator and mentor of the Oslo Global Shapers Hub, a WEF-linked network for young leaders. Both subsequently participated in the Davos meetings and held leadership positions within the WEF's young-leader structures.
That is a strong statement, but every major element is supported by primary documentation.
If we continue the investigation, the next useful step would be to trace the people around them — particularly Klaus Schwab, Queen Rania, Jens Stoltenberg, Erna Solberg, Børge Brende, John Hope Bryant, Pekka Himanen and other YGL figures — and map the Norwegian–WEF–Bilderberg–EU–UN connections, while clearly marking each connection as verified next.

As a Norway patriot having endured the constrictions of a 5 year WWII, I felt the necessity to let you know what you will be in for in the new Kingdom of King Haakon and Queen Mette-Marit, in spite of the massive protests I no doubt will receive.
