Noul rege al Norvegiei, Haakon, a depus jurământul în absența reginei Mette-Marit. Lângă tron a avut-o pe fiica lui, prințesa Ingrid

Norway's new king, Haakon VIII, took his oath before parliament, marking a significant step in his reign. His wife, Queen Mette-Marit, was absent due to recovery from lung transplant surgery. Haakon automatically became king following the death of his father, Harald V. The oath emphasizes the constitutional limits of the monarchy's powers, which are largely symbolic in Norway. The ceremony was attended by Queen Sonja and Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who honored the late king with a moment of silence. Harald V passed away at 89, with his funeral scheduled for September 9 at Oslo Cathedral.
