Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Queen Sonja attended the state funeral mass of King Harald V at Asker Church in Norway on Sunday morning.
The Norwegian royal family arrived at the church around 11:00 am following the monarch's death at Oslo University Hospital on Friday, August 28.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit did not attend the service. An official statement confirmed that she is resting following her surgery in June.
Mourning attire at Asker Church
Members of the Norwegian royal family arrived for the international event wearing strict black mourning attire as a sign of respect and solemnity. King Harald V was one of Norway's longest-reigning monarchs and was widely regarded as one of the country's most loved figures close to the public.
Asker Church, located in Asker municipality southwest of Oslo, serves as the parish church for the royal family's official residence at the Skaugum estate. The state funeral mass brought together members of the crown to bid their final farewell.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra in grey and black
Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who is heir to the Norwegian throne, wore a knee-length black dress paired with a masculine-cut grey coat. The royal chose clean lines, traditional silhouettes, and a dark color palette to maintain a discreet institutional appearance.
She completed her monochromatic outfit with thick black tights and sensible black high heels. Her accessories remained minimalist, consisting of a rectangular handbag and a simple headband.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra is the eldest child of Crown Prince Haakon and second in line to the Norwegian throne after her father. Her appearance at the state funeral reflected her growing role within the monarchy during a delicate period for the crown.
Queen Sonja in cape coat and discreet jewelry
Queen Sonja wore a similar strict mourning ensemble featuring a simple black midi-length dress and a cape-style coat designed with subtle movement and flare. Following funeral protocol, black was the central focus of her attire.
The Queen paired her outfit with matching sensible heels, thick tights, and a black headband. She kept her accessories minimal, selecting only discreet jewelry comprising a choker necklace, earrings, and bracelets.
Queen Sonja, who married King Harald V in 1968, has served as Norway's queen consort since his accession to the throne in 1991.
Royal family bids final farewell
The state funeral marked one of the saddest days for the nation as the royal family paid their final respects to the late king. Prince Sverre Magnus, Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Queen Sonja, and Queen Sofia gathered for the final farewell.
