The Weight of Legacy in Norway's New Monarchy King Haakon VIII inherits not only a nation but also the weight of his father's legacy.
Harald V, who passed away at 89, was known for his commitment to values and duty, earning him a reputation as a reformer and popular monarch.
In his first speech to the nation, King Haakon paid an emotional tribute to his late father, while also signaling a desire to define himself in the face of such a significant legacy.
