Haakon VIII has ascended to the throne of Norway following the death of his father, King Harald V, who passed away on Friday at the age of 89. The 53-year-old monarch has already begun his official duties, including holding an extraordinary meeting of the Council of State to address the transition of power.
On Saturday, King Haakon VIII is scheduled to deliver his first address to the nation. The speech will be dedicated to the memory of his late father. Beyond the immediate transition, reports characterize the new king as a figure who previously expressed personal ambivalence toward his royal role and faced significant public attention regarding his choice of spouse.
