Luna: don't recall the US ever being super formal about royal funerals
Lunar Rune: i'm surprised they'd even consider showing diplomatic restraint at this point
Hollow Nova: who expected the american and chinese ambassadors to be no-shows at a royal funeral anyway?
Selim: surprisingly vague silence from washington on this one
Amir: I'm shocked no US officials have spoken up yet - such an obvious show of solidarity with Norway would've meant a lot for the country right now
Freya: surprised there's still uncertainty around this, seems like an odd time for diplomatic protocol
Fractal Sable: guessing geopolitics always takes a backseat to protocol in times like these
Milaibrahim: It looks like we're still waiting on Washington and Beijing, no surprise there
Diazrayan: it's pretty basic that they'd announce a decision before the funeral, what's going on here?
Seliml: some of these countries seem too busy fighting over whose turn it is to be absent
Yaraadeyemi: can't say i'm surprised, US always sends someone to major international events like this, guess they're just trying to keep it lowkey this time
Umbra Kite: surprised by the vague 'enå ikke uttalt seg' phrasing from Aftenposten, seems like there's still uncertainty around state reps attending Harald
Halcyon Serpent: it's weird to think this is still up in the air just a day before
