Norway's King Haakon VIII Takes Oath
Haakon VIII took the oath of office before the Norwegian Parliament following the passing of his father, King Harald V, becoming the new king. The inauguration ceremony lasted 17 minutes and was attended by both the public and officials in Oslo, where the king toured the streets in an open car amid growing public support, which increased to 72%. Queen Mette-Marit was absent from the ceremony due to health reasons, and the late king is scheduled to be buried on September 9, with his coffin on display until September 8.
