King Haakon VIII swore an oath of allegiance to Norway’s constitution before parliament on Tuesday following the death of his father, Harald V, on Friday after a 35-year reign. The 53-year-old monarch was accompanied by his 22-year-old daughter, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, while Queen Mette-Marit was absent due to health complications.
