King Haakon VIII of Norway swore an oath of allegiance to the 1814 constitution before the country's parliament on Tuesday. The ceremony marked the first major institutional step and stage in the passing of the crown following the death of his father after a 35-year reign.
The new king was joined at his side by his daughter during the proceedings. However, the queen was unable to attend the ceremony due to post-surgery complications stemming from a recent lung transplant.
