Princess Astrid of Norway died at the age of 94, two days after her brother's funeral. The news was announced by the Norwegian Royal Palace, which informed of the passing of the member of the Norwegian royal family.

King Haakon VIII deeply lamented the death of his aunt, expressing his sadness at the loss. The monarch decided that the flags at the Royal Palace would be flown at half-mast as a sign of respect and mourning for Princess Astrid.

The death occurred at a particularly difficult time for the royal family, given that Princess Astrid had lost her brother just two days before, when his funeral was held. This sequence of losses marked a period of mourning for the Norwegian royal family.
