King Charles III expresses 'profound sadness' over death of Norway's King Harald V.

The Norwegian monarch died "peacefully" at 6:35 a.m. local time on Friday at the Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet, a spokesperson for the Royal Palace announced later that morning. Reacting to the news, the British monarch said on Friday that he and his wife, Queen Camilla, felt "the most profound sadness" about the death of his "dear cousin." "As Norway mourns the loss of so towering a figure, my whole family join in remembering a much-loved kinsman and friend whose kindness, compassion and deep sense of duty echoed from across the sea and across the decades.”
