Norway will hold a funeral for King Harald V in Oslo on Wednesday, attended by royalty and leaders from across Europe and beyond, paying tribute to the popular monarch's 35-year reign. According to the Associated Press, Harald died on August 28 aged 89 and was Europe's oldest monarch. He is credited with modernizing Norway's royal house during his time on the throne.

Thousands of people lined the streets of Oslo to bid farewell to Norway's King Harald V, who was laid to rest during a funeral service attended by world leaders, according to Al Jazeera. Large crowds gathered in the Norwegian capital to pay their respects as the monarch was honored in a ceremony that drew international dignitaries, reflecting the king's prominent place in the nation's public life.

Norway held a funeral for King Harald V, described by Channels TV as the nation's "grandfather." According to the outlet, the funeral procession departed the royal palace at 12:00 pm (1000 GMT), with the king's casket draped in Norway's red royal banner, topped with white flowers, and carried on an artillery carriage. The event marked the country's farewell to its longtime monarch, drawing national attention as Norwegians paid their final respects.

King Charles has clarified that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain non-working royals, reaffirming that the terms agreed in 2020 when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from royal duties and left the UK are still in place. The arrangement, known as the Sandringham Agreement, set out the couple's departure from official royal roles. According to KBC, the King's message emphasises that this position has not changed, ending speculation about a possible return to working royal status for the Sussexes.

Prince Harry will travel to the UK next week without his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet. This change in plans comes after it was confirmed that the family would not receive taxpayer-funded police protection during their visit, which was initially expected to include all members of the family.

King Charles is set to disclose tax details for the first time as part of the annual royal accounts, which are scheduled for release on Thursday, according to SABC Business.
