The Kingdom of Norway finally unveils its first ever portrait stylizing Hans Majestet Kong Haakon VIII (His Majesty King Haakon VIII) to the world amidst nation-wide mourning for Europe’s longest-serving monarch, his father King Harald.
The 53-year-old Crown Prince, turned King has been announced on the Royal Family’s official Instagram Page.

In the caption of the post they wrote, Hans Majestet Kong Haakon VIII ~ Alt for Norge. (which translates to His Majesty King Haakon VIII ~ Everything for Norway)
What is pertinent to mention about the recently passed monarch, he was 89-years-old and suffering from a rare blood disorder which made it so his red blood cells were dying faster than his bone marrow could make replacements. He ended up requiring a regent by the end of his reign, which has lasted all the way from 1991.
He is survived by his son and wife Queen Sonja.
