SloveniaNorwegian King Harald V has passed away at the age of 89, and his funeral will take place in Oslo next Wednesday. The event will be attended by numerous foreign dignitaries and representatives from royal families across Europe and beyond. Sweden’s royal family, including King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, and other members, will attend due to close familial ties with Norway’s royal family. Denmark’s King Frederick and Queen Mary, the Netherlands’ King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, Belgium’s King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, Japan’s Crown Prince and Princess, and others have confirmed their attendance. The British monarchy’s representative remains uncertain, though Prince William or Princess Anne may attend. The Norwegian government has declared a month of mourning beginning after the funeral, during which the royal family will wear black clothing or uniforms with mourning ribbons and avoid most formal events.
