EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking image captures the moment of history as Haakon VII, then Prince Carl of Denmark and Iceland, is crowned as the new King of Norway in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim on the 22nd of June, 1906. Surrounded by the grandeur of the Gothic arches and archways, the newly crowned monarch kneels before the altar in humility and reverence. Haakon VII, born Christian Frederik Carl Georg Valdemar Axel, is dressed in the traditional regalia of the Norwegian monarchy, adorned with jewels and a golden crown. The dignitaries of the church and the royal court look on, their expressions filled with awe and respect, as the centuries-old tradition of the coronation ceremony unfolds. Queen Maud, Haakon's consort, stands by his side, her own regal presence adding to the solemnity of the occasion. The Coronation of Haakon VII marked the end of Union between Norway and Sweden and the beginning of a new era for the Norwegian people. This historical photograph, taken by renowned photographer Matania, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the enduring traditions of the Norwegian monarchy.
