Wonderful story about Norway’s King Harald V and MitoSense founder, Dr. Robert Elliott.
King Harald V of Norway was a good man, down to Earth and had a sense of humor.
I’ll never forget a number of years ago, both myself and the late American medical pioneer, Dr. Bob Elliott, were invited to have an after dinner drink with the King and discuss Dr. Elliott’s research.
Dr. Elliott began by saying, "Your majesty, as a little boy growing up in the Mississippi Delta, I could have never imagined I’d be meeting and having dinner with a King. As they say where I come from, I’m in high cotton tonight!"
King Harald, who actually went to grammar school in the U.S. after fleeing the N***s at an early age, responded, "Dr. Elliott, I know what high cotton is!" Everyone who heard it cracked up and the conversation was just getting started.
RIP King Harald V 🇳🇴
