Princess Astrid's funeral will take place on September 23

Observador15 September 2026 at 14:10

Princess Astrid of Norway, the elder sister of current King Harald V, died on September 11 at the age of 94. Her death occurred just two days after the funeral of the former monarch, King Olav V, her brother and Harald V's father.

Princess Astrid's funeral is scheduled for September 23. The farewell will take place at the Riskirka (Ris Church), the chosen venue for the funeral ceremony.

The ceremony will be broadcast, allowing Norwegian citizens and others to follow the princess's farewell. This decision to broadcast the funeral follows the tradition of honoring members of the Norwegian royal family at similar events.

Why this matters

This double mourning in the Norwegian royal family within a few days marks a particularly difficult period for the royal house. Norwegian readers and those following European royalty will have the opportunity to watch the funeral ceremony through the broadcast.
