Following the passing of the beloved King Harald V, Norway has a new monarch. Crown Prince Haakon, 53, has become King Haakon VIII, adopting the motto "Alt for Norge" (All for Norway), the same words carried by his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather before him.
His wife is now Queen Mette-Marit, and their oldest child, Ingrid Alexandra, has become Crown Princess and heir to the throne.
King Harald V served his country with quiet dignity and grace for 35 years. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy and very big shoes to fill. We wish King Haakon VIII and Queen Mette-Marit strength, wisdom, and the love of the Norwegian people as they begin this new chapter.
