King Haakon VIII met Prince William (pictured) for the first time as Norway's monarch at his father's funeral, after spending years together as heirs to their respective thrones.

Buckingham Palace confirmed that Prince William will attend King Harald's funeral. The Norwegian monarch passed away last month at the age of 89.

The Prince of Wales represented his father, King Charles, at the service at Oslo Cathedral, while the Princess Royal attended in a private and personal capacity.
