Mourning period of each royal family?

[rchainho]

I know that after the death of prince rainier III, prince albert is going to succed him after 3 months.
What is the mourning period of each royal family to suceed in the throne?

[norwegianne]

King Olav died in January 1991, and King Harald received the blessing from the bishops in Nidarosdomen in June the same year. However, he swore to uphold the Constitution four days after his father's death.

How long the period of mourning lasts, varies, I think. There is the heavy period of mourning, which I've read lasts for about three months, where in the Royal Family doesn't undertake any official engagements.

When a monarch dies, the heir succeeds him/her as the new monarch as soon as they have died. The enthronement ceremony or whatever is held takes place later of course.

I believe I've read something like what Norwegianne says, that 3 months is a normal period of Court mourning.

That would probably depend on when in the year the Queen will die. I can't imagine that if the Queen died in August that they would have a January coronation.

[PrincessofEurope]

charles coronation would take months of planning
george vi died in feb 52 and the queen wasnt crowned until june 53

(only exception being after edward viii abdicated his planned coronation went ahead just as planned only with a different monarch)

King George died in February 52 so it was 16 months till Elizabeth's coronation. In Tonga Queen Salote died in December 1965 and her son wasn't crowned until July 1967.

In a few Arab countries such as the Gulf, mourning period is 40 days.

[radin87]

Yes, it is the same as Malaysia.
The mourning period is 40 days.

[PrinceOfCanada]

In the UK, the Throne passes to the new Sovereign at the moment of the previous Sovereign's death. Coronation is not actually required. Typically in the UK, the new Sovereign will wait at least one year, as it would seem inappropriate to have a jubilant celebration (the coronation) during the traditional (Victorian, I think) 1 year of mourning.
