King Haakon VIII of Norway took the oath on the Constitution in parliament. The ceremony officially marked the beginning of his reign in the Nordic country.
Haakon became king of Norway after the death of his father, King Harald V, who passed away at age 89. The throne transition occurred smoothly, following the country's traditional line of succession.
The new monarch adopted the motto "Everything for Norway," which had been used by his great-grandfather Haakon VII. This choice symbolizes the continuity of the Norwegian monarchy and the connection to the historical roots of the royal family.
