🇳🇴 Princess Astrid’s Funeral will be held on Wednesday, 23 September at 1:00pm, in Oslo’s Ris Church.

You don’t have to wonder anymore what kind of thought process she was in when she was sitting by her brother’s coffin; she was already in contact with her parents and asked: “Can I let this family go, and will they be okay?” Rest in peace, Princess Astrid.

Carlos Gustavo de Suecia se despide de la princesa Astrid de Noruega, tan solo dos días después de haberse encontrado con ella en el funeral de Harald V: "La Reina y yo hemos recibido con tristeza la noticia de que la princesa Astrid, señora Ferner, ha fallecido.

Hace unos días tuvimos la oportunidad de encontrarnos y hablar con la princesa Astrid con motivo del funeral del rey Harald, un encuentro que valoramos enormemente.

Recordamos a la princesa Astrid con cariño y hacemos llegar nuestras condolencias a los hijos de la princesa y a sus familias, así como a toda la Familia Real noruega, en estos momentos tan difíciles".

Il y a quatre ans, la princesse Anne veillait sa mère jusqu’à son dernier souffle, avant d’escorter son cercueil depuis Balmoral jusqu’à Londres. Sans jamais faillir.
Cette profonde révérence, devant la cathédrale d’Édimbourg, me colle encore des frissons.

How do you say goodbye to the person who has been beside you for almost sixty years? 🕊️

Today, Queen Sonja stood before the coffin of King Harald.

For a moment, the crown, the ceremony and everyone surrounding her seemed to disappear.

There was only a wife—and the man she had loved for most of her life.

They were young when they found each other. They waited nine long years before they could finally marry. Then they built a home, raised their children, carried the weight of duty together and grew older side by side.

Nearly every chapter of her adult life has Harald written into it.

The private jokes only they understood.
The familiar look across a crowded room.
The ordinary mornings.
The voice she could recognize anywhere.
The comfort of simply knowing he was there.

The world will remember his reign, his service and the history he leaves behind.

But Queen Sonja will return to a life where his chair is empty, his voice is missing and the person who had always been beside her is no longer there.

Perhaps that is the deepest sorrow of losing someone after a lifetime together: the world continues moving, while your heart still reaches for the person who should be next to you.

The final photograph hurts the most.

Once, they were young parents holding their children, with an entire lifetime still waiting ahead of them.

Today, she had to say goodbye.

Norway has lost its King.

But Queen Sonja has lost the love of her life. 🤍

May the memories they created across nearly six decades hold her gently through the days ahead—and may a love that endured for a lifetime prove stronger than goodbye. 🇳🇴🕊️

On the eve of King Harald V’s funeral, the Norwegian Royal Court has released images of Queen Sonja paying tribute to her late husband in the Palace Chapel.

Among the family tributes is a wreath from Queen Sonja bearing the words:

“Thank you for a good life.”

[Westminster Abbey @wabbey]

Today we remember Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who died four years ago, on this day in 2022.

As a royal church, Westminster Abbey had a special relationship with the Queen. Over the course of her life, she came here often for state occasions and national services, and some of the most important moments of her life took place here.

'Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening into the house and gate of heaven'
