The recent change of throne in Norway has put the spotlight on the next group of young princess-in-waiting for the top job.
The united front marks the beginning of a new chapter, as the family attempts to put aside a turbulent period beset by health challenges and scandals.
A plethora of royals from across Europe took part in the procession along the streets of Oslo to honour the much-loved king, who was on the throne for 35 years.
King Harald will be laid to rest in Oslo on Wednesday in a royal funeral that will rival what the world saw for Queen Elizabeth II in 2022.
The queen will now miss the funeral of her cousin as royals from across the world arrive in Norway.
Long-standing protocol to blame.
Her husband just ascended the throne, but years before she married into Norway’s royal family, this queen lived in country Victoria in secret.
She will be among dozens of royals at what is expected to be the largest gathering of royalty in years.
The monarch was accompanied by his daughter three months after her return from Australia, where she was living as a student.
