The funeral service for Norwegian Princess Astrid, who died at age 94 earlier this month, will be held on Wednesday at Ris Kirke in Oslo and is open to the public. The Norwegian Church confirmed that anyone wishing to attend may do so, with the ceremony also broadcast live on Norwegian television. Attendees must pass through security checks, and bags, backpacks, and umbrellas are prohibited inside the church. Princess Astrid was the older sister of King Harald, who passed away in late August; she died just days after attending his funeral.
