King Harald's state funeral takes place today, Wednesday 9 September, after the Norwegian monarch passed away on 28 August at the age of 89. Prince William is in attendance, representing King Charles and Princess Anne has also made the journey, to support her godson, Harald's son, King Haakon.
The Princess Royal looked sombre as paid her respects alongside Prince William. Anne looked smart in a black blazer and scarf, with her hair in her signature coiffed style, accompanied by a black headpiece.
Anne kept her composure while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with William.

The past few years saw Harald experience an array of health issues including bladder cancer and heart problems. In the days before his death, Harald was admitted to hospital with haemolytic anaemia, which is when the red blood cells are destroyed faster than the body can replace them with new blood. A statement from the Palace issued around the time said: "His Majesty the King's health condition is extremely serious."
