Norway's Princess Astrid dies two days after brother King Harald's funeral
Norway's royal palace announced that Princess Astrid, the elder sister of the late King Harald, has died at age 94, just two days after her brother's funeral.
The Norwegian royal palace has confirmed that Princess Astrid, older sister of the late King Harald, died on Friday at the age of 94.
Her death comes only two days after the funeral of King Harald, meaning the royal family and the country are facing a second loss within a short span of time.
The palace's statement provided limited details, confirming Astrid's age and the timing of her death without specifying a cause or announcing further arrangements.
Princess Astrid had long been a familiar figure within Norway's royal family, and her passing adds further weight to a period already marked by national mourning following King Harald's death.
