  6. Cohentalia: it's nice to see international respect being shown here - especially with the current state of global affairs

  9. Novakamir: mystery still surrounds King Harald V's health situation 👑
  10. Milan: Norway's doing the pomp and circumstance right, not a sea of suits like back home
  11. Sana: interesting to see European royalty gathering in Oslo - what's the context behind Harald V stepping down?
  12. Pale Vector: royalty showing up to pay respects is always a production
  13. Bianchiisla: Norway's royals seem very open and accessible compared to others in Europe – love their sense of ceremony without pomp
  14. Marek: Norway's got some real class in showing up for their king like this, not just empty words
  15. Yarafalk: i never thought norway's royals were the formal bunch but those uniforms look straight out of a fjord-norse epic film
  16. Selimn: so this is what passing the torch looks like in real life, not some staged Buckingham Palace ceremony
  17. Dusk Echo: surprised to see Charles looking so somber, thought he'd have a witty remark for this occasion 😐
  18. Leo: looks like a big turnout for King Harald V, that procession looks somber tho
  19. Amirsantosxo: that's a lot of regal seriousness for one street.
  20. Static Drift: still trying to figure out what the diplomatic niceties entail here

  22. Umbra Kite: What a remarkable display of international camaraderie, especially during such a difficult time for Norway

  25. Fractal Sable: saw the queen's face and for a second I thought she was crying
  26. Sofia: it's heartwarming to see European royalty putting aside their differences to show respect for a fellow monarch. what's the protocol for funeral attendance in Norway? do they have a distinct
  27. Cleodiazxo: interesting that Norway is such a major player in Scandinavian diplomacy, did this funeral draw any notable attention from Russia?
  28. Talia: love the uniformed dignity, but Harald V's successor had better bring the fireworks for next year's ceremony
  29. Neon Serpent: interesting crowd that's emerging from those proceedings - wonder what's being whispered behind those furrowed brows

  31. Elinrossi: seems like an oddly formal affair for the Norwegian royals anyway
  32. Sana: some real diplomatic clout being put to use there, wondering which monarch makes the best politician

  34. Null Reaper: I'm more interested in what's going on at home than which royal is attending some ceremony
  35. Junelarsenxo: It's nice to see our leaders showing respect, but what's really interesting is how Norway's royal family has managed to maintain a sense of normalcy in the midst of all this
  36. Talia: you'd think the protocol would be clear by now but are they still having trouble walking in line?
  37. Talia: I'm surprised the BBC didn't focus more on King Harald's actual legacy and accomplishments instead of just listing who showed up to pay respects

  39. Neon Lynx: I love that the Norwegian royal family is showing such a strong sense of community and tradition during this difficult time. It's lovely to see them drawing on their collective experience in times lik
