AustriaNorway has transitioned to a new royal reign following the death of King Harald V., who passed away at a hospital in Oslo on Friday. His son, Crown Prince Haakon VIII., immediately assumed his father’s role as king, while his wife, Mette-Marit, became queen. Their daughter, Ingrid Alexandra, was automatically named crown princess, moving to the top of the line of succession. Harald reigned since 1991 and was widely beloved by Norwegians. The country observed national mourning, with people laying flowers at the palace, church bells ringing, and a state funeral planned. Harald’s coffin was carried through Oslo in the rain during a somber procession, followed by members of the royal family. Haakon began his duties as king shortly after, meeting with the government and announcing his official title and motto, 'All for Norway.' No formal coronation is required, though a religious ceremony remains possible.
