    Sheikh Nawaf took the constitutional oath and has become the sixteenth Emir of Kuwait. The remains of Sheikh Sabah are expected to arrive in Kuwait City later Wednesday, on a flight from Minnesota where he had been undergoing treatment in hospital since July. According to the royal court, the funeral will be "restricted to the emir's relatives" - a move likely designed to avoid large crowds amid the coronavirus pandemic. The country has already begun a 40-day period of national mourning. Image Credit: Kuwait TV/Handout via REUTERS
