William and Princess Anne to Represent UK at King Harald of Norway's Funeral Tomorrow
Princess Anne will also attend in a private role as Norway invites diplomats and lawmakers to the funeral of the 89-year-old monarch.
- On Wednesday, Prince William arrived in Oslo to represent King Charles III at the state funeral of King Harald V, who died on August 28 at age 89.
- Royal protocol dictates the sovereign does not attend funerals of other heads of state, prompting King Charles to send his son instead of attending personally.
- At Oslo Cathedral, dignitaries including Princess Anne and President Volodymyr Zelensky gathered for the service, which precedes a procession to Akershus Fortress for private burial in the Royal Mausoleum.
- Britain and Norway share deep family ties; King Charles and Harald were second cousins who shared great-grandparents King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, strengthening dynastic bonds.
- King Haakon VIII has succeeded his father, while the royal family permitted Marius Borg Høiby to attend funeral events despite his ongoing house arrest at Skaugum Palace.
