Norway is mourning the death of King Harald V, who passed away at the age of 89 after serving as monarch for 35 years. Widely respected for modernizing the monarchy and uniting the nation during times of crisis, Harald became one of Europe's most admired royal figures. He ascended the throne in 1991 and remained committed to his duties despite declining health in recent years.
