Haraldsen, who was born on 22 August 1933, will be buried in Oslo on Friday 23 July, according to the obituary in Aftenposten.
She was married to Queen Sonja’s brother, Haakon Haraldsen, who died 95 years old i 2016.
The couple were self-described guests royal wedding and celebrated as well Christmas with the royal family at Kongsseteren on several occasions.
Correction: VG first wrote that Lis Haraldsen was a bridesmaid during the royal couple’s wedding. That’s not true, it was the daughter of the same name who was the bridesmaid. On VG.no there was also a picture of the bride and groom and one of the bridesmaids, who have now been removed from the case. The error was corrected on July 19 at 22.17.
