Mourners in Norway face extremely long wait times – approximately seven hours – to pay their respects at King Harald’s casket in the Royal Chapel. The queues have prompted the Royal House to extend viewing hours until 11 pm over the weekend and on Monday, a change from the earlier 6 pm closure. The extended hours are in response to the significant public turnout wishing to offer condolences. Authorities report the extensive wait times to news agency NTB and broadcaster NRK. This demonstrates the deep respect and affection held for the late King Harald among the Norwegian people. The slow procession past the casket allows individuals a moment for personal remembrance. The situation is expected to remain challenging throughout the viewing period.
