In the long rhythm of dynastic succession, Norway has turned a quiet but consequential page. King Haakon ascended the throne following his father Harald's decades-long reign, and in his first address as sovereign, he chose to look backward before looking forward — honoring the man whose stewardship shaped the crown he now wears. It is the nature of constitutional monarchy that such transitions are both deeply personal and entirely institutional, a son inheriting not just a title but a nation's symbolic center.
