KING HARALD’S older sister Princess Astrid has died aged 94, just two days after attending the late Norway King’s funeral.
In a statement the palace said: “His Majesty the King has received with great sadness the news that Princess Astrid has passed away.”
Flags will be thrown at half mast from the palace balcony to commemorate the late princess, King Haakon announced.
The news comes just two days after Princess Astrid attended her late brother’s funeral.
Sitting in a packed Oslo Cathedral, she said goodbye to her little brother and thanked him for “everything we’ve had together”.
She was pictured sat by the window at the Palace, looking out at a sea of flowers and grieving Norwegians.
King Harald was Europe’s oldest living monarch and had been on the throne since 1991 but was put on royal “sick leave” earlier this month after falling ill with a blood disorder.
