Crown Prince Haakon, 53, is next in line and will immediately become king following his father's passing. Haakon had already been serving as regent during King Harald's period of illness, effectively preparing him for the transition. The succession process requires no formal ceremony or vote, as the crown passes automatically to the heir apparent.
