Oslo mayor calls off wedding ceremony after death of Norway's king
Anne Lindboe, the mayor of Norway's capital, had planned to marry her fiance on Friday.
Oslo's Mayor Anne Lindboe has canceled her wedding plans following the death of Norway's King Harald V. The ceremony, originally scheduled for Friday, was postponed after King Harald passed away earlier that day, according to her political adviser. Lindboe expressed her sorrow in a tribute on Instagram, praising the late king for his impact on Oslo and Norway.
King Harald ruled for 35 years before his son, King Haakon VIII, took the throne. The public has been leaving flowers at a memorial outside the Royal Palace in Oslo, and Norway's Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre offered condolences, stating that the nation was "united in grief and gratitude" for the king's service.
