King Haakon VIII swore an oath of allegiance to Norway’s constitution before the Storting, the country’s parliament, in Oslo on Tuesday, formalizing his accession following the death of his father, King Harald V, on Friday at age 89.
Dressed in ceremonial uniform, the 53-year-old monarch pledged in the parliament’s main chamber: “I promise and swear that I will govern the Kingdom of Norway in accordance with its Constitution and Laws, so help me God, the almighty and omniscient.” His 22-year-old daughter, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, stood beside him during the 17-minute ceremony, while his wife, Queen Mette-Marit, was absent due to complications from a June 17 lung transplant. Dr. Are Holm, a pulmonologist at Oslo University Hospital, said in a palace statement that such complications were “not uncommon” and that the queen had experienced them “on several occasions, including today,” requiring her to remain under observation .
The ceremony followed a day after Harald V’s coffin was taken to the royal palace chapel, where it will lie in state for public viewing until the funeral on September 9. Tens of thousands of Norwegians have gathered outside the palace to pay respects, leaving flowers, drawings, candles, and flags. A poll by public broadcaster NRK released Tuesday showed support for the monarchy at 72%, up from 54% in May and 60% in February, according to the Guardian .
Haakon arrived at the Storting in an open limousine, accompanied by his mother, Queen Sonja, and his children, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus. The Storting’s president, Masud Gharahkhani, read the official announcement of Harald’s death and Haakon’s succession before the oath was administered. Gharahkhani, who came to Norway as a child refugee from Iran, later said Harald had embodied “the values that underpin our liberal democracy,” including compassion .
Norway has no formal coronation; the country abolished the ceremony over a century ago. Haakon may choose to have his accession consecrated at Trondheim’s Nidaros Cathedral, as his father and grandfather did. The late king’s funeral on September 9 will be attended by heads of state from around the world .
Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra signed her own oath later Tuesday, a step that allows her to function as regent. The palace confirmed she would formally submit the document to parliament after the ceremony .
