Princess Astrid of Norway passed away on Friday at the age of 94, according to an announcement from the royal palace.
The royal house confirmed the death in an official statement, marking the loss of a prominent member of the Norwegian monarchy. Princess Astrid was the older sister of the late King Harald, who had died earlier in the week.
Her passing comes just two days after the funeral service held for her brother, underscoring a period of significant transition for the Norwegian royal family.
Norway loses another legendary figure. Condolences to the royal family during this difficult transition.
Is it true she passed at the same palace? It feels like such a symbolic and somber coincidence.
94 is a remarkable lifespan. She certainly lived through an incredible era of Norwegian history.
I didn’t realize she was Harald’s older sister. Such a close period of loss for the monarchy.
What a heartbreaking week for the Norwegian royal family. Rest in peace, Princess Astrid.
