Prince William is flying to Oslo next Wednesday to attend the funeral of Norway’s beloved King Harald, marking a rare royal duty as he steps in for his father, King Charles — who normally wouldn’t attend such events. Princess Anne, godmother to Norway’s new monarch, will join him in a personal capacity. The late king, a modernizing “people’s king” who reigned 35 years and married a commoner, is being honored with a grand state funeral, including a lying-in-state, procession to Oslo Cathedral, and private burial at Akershus Fortress. European royals, including Queen Sonja and Norway’s new King Haakon VIII — who gave an emotional tribute calling his dad a “great dad” — are expected to attend. Meanwhile, King Charles has returned to Scotland after meeting Macron in London and is set to host Andy Burnham at Balmoral this weekend.
