Princess Astrid of Norway has died two days after attending the funeral of her brother, King Harald, in a further moment of mourning for the Norwegian Royal House.
The new king, Haakon VIII, paid tribute to his aunt following her death, saying Princess Astrid had represented the Royal House “in a warm and dutiful manner”.
Princess Astrid’s death came shortly after she attended the funeral of King Harald, placing her passing within days of a major royal ceremony marking the death of her brother.
No further details were provided in the supplied material about the circumstances of Princess Astrid’s death, her age, or funeral arrangements.
The latest known position is that King Haakon VIII has publicly acknowledged his aunt’s service to the Royal House, while Norway’s royal family faces another bereavement in the immediate aftermath of King Harald’s funeral.
