Why would you need to “trust” them to begin with?
Norwegian here. I don’t think it’s “trust” in the literal sense, but more in line with “viewing them as a neutral yet benevolent institution with integrity”.
If you were going to build a fair society from scratch, do you think giving excessive privilege and power to members of a single family would be a reasonable option for the structure of your society?
Just as a note. The Swedish Herald is not as far as I can tell not registered in Swedish. They have not posted their organisation number on the homepage and they are not listed on Bolagsverket (it is the governmet agency where all corporations need to be registered.) They also only have listed 3 writers and one EIC. Their different personal about pages say a lot about them but they do not refer to them self as journalists. I have seen them linked to here before, most of their articles seem to be direct translations of news published by real Swedish news outlets. Such as TT, SVT, SYDSVENSKAN, etc, but they don’t credit them. Take what you read on this page with that in mind.
How do you say Republic in norwegian?
Republikk incoming

Royal families shouldn’t exist

They can, but they shouldn’t have power because of a stupid bloodline.

No, they shouldn’t. No authoritarians and monarchs always want absolute power.
