Norway has a new king. Haakon VIII succeeded his father on the throne, marking a new era for the Nordic country.

The former monarch, Harald V, died and was Europe's oldest king. His long reign came to an end with his death.

Haakon VIII is now Norway's new king, assuming the responsibilities and traditions of the Norwegian crown.

With this transition, Norway closes an important chapter of its monarchic history and begins a new phase under the command of the new king.
