Norway’s state funeral for the late monarch takes place as royals from multiple countries arrive in Oslo. The Prince of Wales is expected to represent King Charles III at the event.
Outlets report that senior members of other European royal families are also present for the ceremonies. One account highlights an “uncomfortable” reunion involving Norway’s new queen, Mette-Marit, and the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, framed around earlier remarks attributed to Mette-Marit about a 2012 wedding. Other reporting focuses more on the attendance and formal arrangements for the state funeral rather than personal or anecdotal details.
Overall, the common thread across coverage is the international presence in Oslo ahead of the funeral and the role of the British heir in representing the British king, while the details of interpersonal dynamics are presented differently by different outlets.
