Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Royal sources say Prince William's attendance, representing his father King Charles, follows the convention that the monarch does not usually go to the funeral of another head of state.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Charles paid tribute to Harald after his death, remembering his “unwavering dedication” and describing his “kindness, compassion and deep sense of duty”.
William and the now-Princess of Wales carried out an official tour to Norway in 2018, dining with King Harald and Queen Sonja at the Royal Palace, where Harald described them as “family” and praised their support of the late Queen.
The late King Harald, a popular, modernising figure who had been on the Norwegian throne for 35 years, died last month at the age of 89.
