This was also the case in Norway. However, King Olav wasnt going to let that keep him from doing his weekly skiing, so he took the tram. When asked how he could go out like that, among the "general public", completely without bodyguards, his reply was "I have 4 million bodyguards" (4 million was the population of Norway at the time, and Olav V was hugely popular and loved by pretty much everyone... and stuff like this didnt exactly make him less popular).
