On August 28, 2026, King Harald’s body was moved from the chapel at Rikshospitalet to the Royal Palace in Oslo. King Haakon, Queen Mette-Marit, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Queen Sonja, Prince Sverre Magnus and Princess Märtha Louise accompanied King Harald’s coffin from Rikshospitalet to the Royal Palace.
King Harald’s coffin completed its journey when it arrived at the Royal Palace via Parkveien. Along the entire route to the Palace, many people had gathered to bid farewell to King Harald. The hearse was received by the King’s Guard. King Harald’s coffin was then carried by the adjutants into the Red Salon inside the Palace.
God bless you Sir.
ReplyDeleteYou know,@ Ava, a quotation from Shakespeare has suddenly crossed my mind:
Delete"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown".
May God give King Haakon and all of the Norwegian Royal Family the strength to face whatever lies ahead of them.
P the original. Beautifully articulated and well said. Very moving words, P. Yes, agree with this, will not be easy. The King has quiet strength I believe. He will do what is best, I'm sure. Hope you are well.
DeleteHello, @ Ava, thank you.
DeleteI am well.
Beautiful words from you.
Hugs!!!
Difficile de croire que Mette Marit a reçu 2 poumons il y a moins de 2 mois.
ReplyDeleteBien tristes photos. Cet homme paraissait tellement sympathique. Josée.
.
Sono d’accordo con te.
DeleteHanno affrontato tanto, Hakoon disse che sua moglie poteva contare su di lui per qualsiasi cosa…così è.
DeleteMay King Harald rest in peace. It's going to be a hard few weeks for the family, I hope they have the time to mourn.
ReplyDeleteI love the tenderness shown between Haakon and Mette-Marit: the reaching hands in the fourth photo. They have been through a lot together this past year.
I entirely agree with your beautiful comment on all points.
DeleteThank you.
I am deeply moved and impressed by the
ReplyDelete2nd pic.
A man standing in the rain in front of the Royal Palace gates, loneliness, profoumd sorrow and Duty being his only companions.
The cortege behind him looks so near and yet so far away.
I assume it is King Haakon, trying to carry out a step of the protocol while battling his own deep grief.
The man infront is the Lord Chamberlain of Norway Mr. Olav Heian-Engdal. A stunning photo. Following his boss home for the last time.

DeleteOh, thank you for the claryfication.
I think that also the Palace staff and the late King's most immediate entourage must be deeply affected by the demise of their Boss.
My heartfelt condolences to them,too.
A stunning pic indeed, one of a remarkable visual and emotional impact.

ReplyDelete(Including a footage of the cortege).
Stop dominating this blog, it is egoistic and discourages others from
Deleteparticipating. You are everywhere, enough is enough.
22:12 what's wrong with you? Why the negativity. People also P can comment as much as we will. I bet you spread your love on this blog too...
DeleteI totally agree with you anon 22:12. It's very disturbing.
Delete@ Anonymous 10:10,
Deleteso sorry for being so disturbing to you.
Surprisingly though, you seem to be fed up to your back teeth with me only , while you are satisfied with all the trolling and disrespectful comments from others.
This is rather disturbing indeed.
It says a lot about you
(and I can guess who you really are as writing style equals signature.)
If you have thoughtful comments to make it is absolutely fine with me but it seems you are just here to blast me.

To 22:12 as a Norwegian who are in mourning. I don't have a problem with P's comments yours on the other hand I'm not to fond of. It's not in my kings legacy to censor people. He stood for openness, free speech, respect and decency. Can we please try to behave the same. P sorry for this comment. Your comments are respectful, informative, full of love, sympathy and very welcomed. Tusen takk ♥️ G.H.I

ReplyDeleteEs significatiu el gest del rei Haakon, que allarga el braç per donar- li la mà a la seva dona. En la següent foto, entenc que están agafats de la mà. Amb això, ja està tot dit, en una parella que porta tant de etemps junta.

ReplyDeleteIt is the hardest to say Goodbye to a loved one. May God give the family the knowledge in prayers strength and understanding to overcome the loss of a loved family member. May he RIP
