On August 30, 2026, the Church of Norway held memorial services for King Harald across the country. King Haakon, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Queen Sonja and Prince Sverre Magnus attended the memorial service at Asker Church. Queen Mette-Marit was not present, as she is still recovering from lung surgery earlier this year.
All eleven cathedrals in Norway, along with a number of local churches, held memorial services at 11:00 a.m., with the exception of Nidaros Cathedral, which held its service at 5:00 p.m. King Harald V of Norway passed away at Oslo University Hospital early in the morning on August 28, 2026 at the age of 89.
Quiet dignity.
