Norway has a new king. Crown Prince Haakon, 53, became King Haakon VIII when his father, Harald V, died on Friday.
Haakon's oldest child now becomes Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra and heir to the throne.
Haakon is already familiar with the role, having served as regent several times in recent years as his father's health declined.
Norway's monarchy dates back to King Harald Fairhair in the ninth century.
Today, the monarch's role is largely symbolic, with political power held by an elected parliament. However, the royal family remains highly visible and plays a role in representing Norway internationally.
