  "account": "King Harald V of Norway's funeral will take place in Oslo on September 9, with Prince William attending in his capacity as a representative of his father, King Charles. Princess Anne, who is the godmother to Norway's new monarch, King Haakon VIII, will also attend the funeral in a personal capacity. King Harald, who ruled Norway for 35 years, died at the age of 89 last month, and his funeral is expected to draw large crowds. The service will be held at Oslo Cathedral, followed by a private burial in Norway's royal mausoleum. Among the tributes to King Harald was a speech by his son, King Haakon, who praised his father for being a good father and a unifying figure who represented the values of a society built on law and justice. King Charles, who will be in Norway, praised his cousin for serving his people with unwavering dedication and guiding Norway through times of great change with warmth and humility.",
