The king of Norway in the 70s, Olav the 5th took the tram with regular Norwegians. This was during the oil crisis so it was a way of showing solidarity with citizens who could no longer afford to drive. I think trying to not put yourself too high about everybody else is a cherished ideal in Scandinavian countries. It has not gone down well that the present crown prince and princess transferred their kids to private school e.g. They claim it is to immerse them more in english. But people are not happy about it.
