Prince William attended the funeral of Norway's King Harald V in Oslo on September 9, representing his father King Charles III.
King Harald died on August 28 at the age of 89. He had been king for 35 years and was known for making the Norwegian monarchy more modern and open. Many people called him a "people's king."
The funeral was held at Oslo Cathedral. King Charles did not attend because reigning monarchs do not usually go to funerals of foreign heads of state. Princess Anne was also there, but in a personal role, as she is godmother to Norway's new king, Haakon VIII.
