Queen Sonja's nice greeting to her husband

The Norwegian king has been moved to the Palace Chapel.

Queen Sonja left a wreath next to her husband's coffin.

"Thank you for a good life".

The bonus prince Marius Borg Høiby, who has an anklet, was today carrying King Harald's coffin. This was revealed after new pictures from the Norwegian court.

The king's coffin was moved from the Red Salon to the Palace Chapel.

The coffin was accompanied by the king's family and court employees and the procession went through the palace's halls.

The queens walked hand in hand

Queen Mette-Marit and Queen Sonja also participated. The queens walked hand in hand after the coffin.

On the palace grounds, the queens came out hand in hand.

The Queen's greeting: "Thank you for a good life".

Starting on Tuesday at 2 p.m., the Palace Chapel will be open to the public who want to say a final farewell to King Harald. The royal family left three wreaths at the coffin in the chapel.

The first is from Queen Sonja, with the text:"Thank you for a good life".

On the right side of the coffin is another wreath from the royal family:

"Thank you".

It is signed “Haakon, Mette, Ingrid, Magnus and Marius”.

The third wreath reads:

“Thank you for everything, dear father, grandfather and father-in-law. We love you so much”

It is signed “Märtha, Durek, Maud, Leah and Emma.

On Saturday, the day after the king’s passing, the couple would have celebrated their wedding anniversary.

King Harald and Queen Sonja would then have celebrated 58 years of marriage.

Given permission from prosecutors

The prosecutor has previously approved that Marius Borg Høiby is allowed to leave the Skaugum residence, where he is serving his detention in ankle shackles, even during the funeral on September 9, reports Aftenposten.

He was also granted permission to visit King Harald at the National Hospital in Oslo on August 27 and to be present at the palace when the king’s coffin was brought there the following day, as Aftonbladet has previously reported.
