Norway will hold the funeral of King Harald the Fifth in Oslo, with a full day of royal ceremony, military processions and national mourning. Here’s what you need to know about the funeral route from the Royal Palace to Oslo Cathedral and Akershus Fortress, the three thousand five hundred military personnel involved, the security operation, the royal burial, and the balcony appearance expected from King Haakon the Eighth, Queen Mette-Marit, Queen Sonja, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus.

We also look at the international royal guest list, including Prince William representing King Charles, Princess Anne attending as King Haakon’s godmother, and monarchs from Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and beyond. Plus: why Queen Margrethe will miss the service, how Norway is handling security in central Oslo, and what happens next as the Norwegian Royal Family enters a month of official mourning following King Harald’s death.
