Oslo [Norway], September 3: Sweden's royal family will travel to Oslo next week for the funeral of Norway's King Harald V, who died last week at the age of 89.
All adult members of the Swedish royal family are expected to attend the funeral on September 9, including King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, and Princess Madeleine and her husband Christopher O'Neill.

Denmark's King Frederik X and Queen Mary have already confirmed their attendance. The Danish royal family is also distantly related to Norway's.
The Netherlands will be represented by King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, former queen Princess Beatrix and Crown Princess Catharina-Amalia.
