Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Ishaq Dar, has conveyed condolences to Norway following the death of King Harald V. He spoke with Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, expressing sympathy on behalf of Pakistan's leadership and citizens to the royal family and Norwegian people.
King Harald V's funeral is set to take place, with Prince William representing King Charles III of Britain. According to protocol, British monarchs do not attend funerals of other heads of state, instead sending another member of the royal family to represent them. King Charles III had previously released a statement mourning the loss of King Harald V, his "dear cousin".
King Charles III and King Harald V were second cousins once removed, both being descendants of Britain's King Edward VII. Princess Anne will also attend the funeral in a personal capacity, as the godmother of the new king, Haakon VIII.
