King Haakon Concludes Sailing Season on Royal Ship

King Haakon of Norway concluded the sailing season of the royal ship Norge on Thursday, marking one of his first public duties since becoming king at the end of last month. He was accompanied by his mother, Queen Sonja, and stated via TV 2 that he is doing well "under the circumstances." This event follows the death of his father, King Harald, who passed away in August at age 89. Despite an official mourning period lasting until October 9, Haakon has gradually resumed responsibilities, including receiving new ambassadors such as Italy's Andrea Cavallari at the palace.
