The Spanish monarchs were among the distinguished royal guests who gathered to pay their respects to the late king, who died on August 28 at the age of 89 after 35 years on the Norwegian throne.
The solemn day began with a ceremonial procession carrying King Harald’s coffin from the Royal Palace to Oslo Cathedral, where the funeral service was held. Following the service, the coffin was taken to Akershus Fortress for a private burial ceremony.
Queen Letizia chose a familiar black tweed ensemble, an understated choice she has turned to for prior solemn events.
She elevated the look with a black headband and the historic Joyas de Pasar pearl necklace, along with her Ansorena bezel-set diamond and pearl earrings, honoring the royal custom of wearing pearls for mourning.
The Queen finished the look with her favourite Carolina Herrera Victoria Insignia Satchel Bag, and on her feet were the Magrit Buckle Low-Heel Pumps.
