一句话看懂
King Harald V of Norway died at 89, triggering succession by son Haakon. The crown princess's Epstein links cloud the transition.
背景
King Harald V, Europe's oldest monarch, died on Friday after 35 years on the throne. He had been hospitalized since August 17 with a blood disease, and his condition deteriorated to 'extremely serious' on Thursday. His son, Crown Prince Haakon, who was already acting as regent, now becomes king. The succession is complicated by controversy over Crown Princess Mette-Marit's correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein.
