Norway is in deep mourning as King Harald V, 89, dies peacefully at the National Hospital, prompting tens of thousands to gather with flowers and tributes outside Oslo’s royal palace. His son, Crown Prince Haakon, ascends the throne as King Haakon VIII, adopting his great-grandfather’s motto “All for Norway,” while Queen Mette-Marit and Princess Ingrid Alexandra become queen and crown princess. Already experienced as regent, King Haakon prepares to meet key officials this weekend, with his first national address expected soon amid ongoing debates about the monarchy’s role. A funeral date remains unannounced, but nationwide mourning has begun — with celebrations postponed across the country.
