Princess Astrid of Norway dies two weeks after King Harald V.

Princess Astrid of Norway has died at the age of 94. Her passing occurred just two days after the state funeral of her brother, King Harald V., who died two weeks earlier. According to a statement from the Norwegian royal family, Astrid passed away on Friday, adding to the loss within the royal family circle.

The princess had attended the memorial service for King Harald just days before her death. She was remembered as an important support in the life of the monarch and the family, as noted by King Haakon VIII. in a statement regarding her passing.

The news of her death was reported by various media outlets worldwide. Among those covering the loss were Tagesspiegel and Münchner Merkur, highlighting that this represents yet another bereavement for the Norwegian monarchy.

Astrid did not only have a significant influence as the sister of the king but also as a multifaceted personality throughout her life in Norway. Her death is regarded as a significant loss for the royal house, which is still grieving the passing of King Harald.

The flag at the balcony of the royal palace was, in accordance with royal traditions, once again flown at half-mast following her death to show respect for the deceased. This typically happens during times of national mourning or upon the death of royal family members.

King Harald V. passed away two weeks ago at the age of 86. His reign began in 1991. Astrid was publicly known as a family support and played a significant role within society, particularly in Norway's social and cultural sectors.
