Norway said a final farewell to Princess Astrid on 23 September 2026. Princess Astrid passed away on 11 September 2026 at the age of 94, less than a month after the death of her younger brother, King Harald. Princess Astrid’s funeral service took place at Ris Church in Oslo.
King Haakon and Queen Mette-Marit attended the funeral service, alongside, among others, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Queen Sonja, Princess Märtha Louise, Durek Verrett, Leah Isadora, Emma Tallulah and Maud Angelica, as well as Princess Astrid’s five children.
Several foreign royals had also travelled to Norway for the sad occasion. Crown Princess Victoria was in attendance, as were Princess Astrid of Belgium and Prince Lorenz. Other royal families had expressed their condolences and sent wreaths, which adorned Ris Church.
Un altro giorno triste per la famiglia reale e per la Norvegia.
