Prince William steps in for his father, King Charles, to attend the funeral of Norway’s beloved King Harald V — a historic moment as the British prince joins global royalty in Oslo for the service honoring the late monarch, who ruled Norway for 35 years and was succeeded by his son, King Haakon. This marks another high-profile duty for William, following his attendance at Pope Francis’s funeral, as protocol often calls for British royals to send representatives to state funerals. With King Charles currently undergoing cancer treatment, he sent heartfelt condolences, calling Harald his “dear cousin” and praising his “kindness, compassion and deep sense of duty.” Princess Anne, William’s aunt and godmother to the new Norwegian king, will also be present, underscoring the personal and diplomatic significance of the event.
