The Prince of Wales will attend the funeral of Harald V in Oslo next week, representing the King at the service in Norway.
Prince William’s attendance places him at the centre of the UK royal presence for the funeral. The engagement will take him to the Norwegian capital for the event, which is due to be held next week.
The role means the Prince of Wales will be present on behalf of the King rather than attending solely in a personal capacity. No additional details were provided in the supplied material about the precise date, the order of service or any other members of the royal family who may attend.
The latest known position is that Prince William is expected to travel to Oslo next week for the funeral and to act as the King’s representative at the proceedings.
