Prince William is set to represent his father, King Charles, at the funeral of Norway’s King Harald V. Buckingham Palace announces that the Prince of Wales will travel to Oslo to attend the service next week.
The outlets report that the funeral takes place in Oslo and is scheduled for September 9. Sky News and the BBC both focus on William acting on behalf of King Charles, while the London Evening Standard adds additional royal context about other attendees. The Evening Standard reports that Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, will also attend, noting she is the godmother of Norway’s new king, Haakon VIII.
Overall, the coverage aligns on William’s representative role and his travel to Oslo for the funeral, with differences mainly in the amount of detail provided about the wider delegation attending the event.
