Prince William Steps In for King Charles | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Prince William steps into royal history as he travels to Norway to represent King Charles at the funeral of King Harald V — a rare honor, since sovereigns typically don’t attend foreign monarchs’ funerals. The ceremony, set for Wednesday at Oslo Cathedral after thirteen days of national mourning, will feature global royals including Spain’s Felipe and Letizia, Denmark’s Frederik and Mary, and Princess Anne — who’s also godmother to Norway’s new king. A solemn procession, church service, and final laying to rest at Akershus Fortress await. Though Charles couldn’t attend, his heartfelt tribute called Harald “dear cousin,” honoring a legacy that stretches back generations, even to Queen Elizabeth II and Harald, who were second cousins.
