Prince William to attend King Harald's funeral in Norway
The Prince of Wales will represent the King at the funeral of Harald V in Oslo next week.
Prince William will join King Charles in attending the funeral of Norway's King Harald V in Oslo on September 9th, according to Buckingham Palace. Princess Anne, the late monarch's goddaughter, will also attend in a personal capacity. King Harald, who ruled for 35 years, passed away at 89 last month. Prince William's attendance follows protocol, as monarchs typically do not attend the funeral of foreign heads of state.
The ceremony will be followed by a private burial in Oslo. King Harald was known for modernizing the monarchy and his down-to-earth persona. His son, King Haakon VIII, will succeed him at a challenging time.
