## Resource

Norway bid a solemn farewell to King Harald V, who died at 89 after 35 years on the throne, hailed as a modern, beloved monarch and “grandfather of the nation.” Thousands turned out in Oslo for his funeral, as global leaders including Prince William and Ukraine’s Zelensky paid tribute. The service at Oslo Cathedral saw emotional appearances by his widow Queen Sonja, new King Haakon, and Queen Mette-Marit — despite recent personal controversies involving Mette-Marit’s past ties to Epstein and her son Marius Borg Høiby’s legal troubles. After burial at Akershus Fortress alongside Norway’s royal dead, the family thanked mourners from the palace balcony as flags flew at full mast, marking the end of national mourning for a king whose legacy deeply touched his people.
