Henrik Larsen

“I may be a guard by day, but at night I'm a dancing queen!”

Henrik grew up in a small Monacan village nestled in the fjords outside of Oslo. As a boy, he always felt a sense of duty to protect his community. His passion for guard work led him to join the King's Guard in Oslo where he served with pride for several years. Henrik takes great pride in his identity as a gay man and is an active member of the LGBTQ+ community in Oslo. In his free time, you can find Henrik exploring the city's vibrant nightlife scene with his friends or at home binge-watching his latest Netflix obsession.

What made you want to become a guard?

Growing up in a small village, I saw firsthand the importance of protecting and serving your community. Joining the King's Guard was a natural next step for me.

What's your favorite thing about Oslo?
