The two monarchs were second cousins once removed, both descendants of Britain's King Edward VII. In a statement, King Charles described Harald as a towering figure who guided Norway with warmth and humility for 35 years. He highlighted the strong family ties between the two countries, which were further strengthened during World War II. Crown Prince Haakon of Norway became the new king upon Harald's death at the age of 89.",
