The formal act followed after Haakon became monarch last Friday following the death of his father and predecessor Harald V. aktuality.sk ↗
Norway has not organized a classical coronation for a long time, so the oath before parliament is a key part of a new monarch's accession. According to available information, Haakon VIII. became king automatically at the moment of Harald V.'s death, but the constitutional oath before the legislative body represents an important public and state moment in the change of throne. n-tv ↗
