Norway’s new king swears oath of allegiance with daughter at his side

Norway’s newly crowned monarch, Haakon VIII, took the constitutional oath alongside his daughter, while his wife was absent due to complications following surgery. The ceremony emphasized his commitment to the 1814 constitution. The royal family’s presence highlighted continuity, and the event proceeded without the queen, who remained in recovery. The ceremony took place at Oslo’s cathedral, observed by officials and the public.
