Prince William joins world leaders at King Harald V of Norway’s funeral

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleThe Prince of Wales represented King Charles III at the funeral of King Harald V of Norway in Oslo, joining a walking procession behind the gun carriage carrying the late monarch’s coffin from the Royal Palace to Oslo Cathedral. Prince William processed alongside his aunt, the Princess Royal, as well as a large gathering of foreign royalty and international political leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Thousands of mourners lined the streets of Oslo to pay their respects to King Harald V, who died on 28 August aged 89 after a 35-year reign during which he was praised as an inclusive, modernising monarch. Norway’s new monarch, King Haakon VIII, led the royal family directly behind the coffin, while the widowed Queen Sonja and the new Queen Mette-Marit followed the procession by car. King Charles III, a second cousin once removed of the late Norwegian king, sent a moving message of condolence praising his dedicated kinsman, adhering to royal protocol under which British sovereigns traditionally do not attend foreign heads of state funerals.
