Norway Instantly Welcomes New King
King Harald V of Norway passed away at the age of 89 after 35 years on the throne. As a result, Crown Prince Haakon automatically became the new king. King Haakon was not officially crowned, as the Parliament has abolished the ceremonial coronation since 1908 for democratic reasons, and the new king simply took the constitutional oath, as is customary in the Norwegian constitutional system. Harald was known for playing an important role following the bloodshed events in Oslo in 2011, and he married commoners. He was one of Europe's oldest reigning monarchs until his death. Meanwhile, Prince Haakon is the longest-serving heir apparent in the country's history.
