Norway Buries King Harald at Oslo Cathedral

TL;DR

Reuters files a state funeral at Oslo Cathedral. A ceremony is not a constitutional crisis.

MSM Perspective

Reuters files crowds and a palace-to-cathedral procession. A funeral is a service, not a succession fight.

X Perspective

Royal feeds treat the cathedral as the end of an era without a crisis.

Norway held a state funeral for King Harald V at Oslo Cathedral. [1] Reuters filed crowds expected along a palace-to-cathedral procession. [1] A funeral is a ceremony. It is not a constitutional crisis in fetched copy. Print the service. Do not print a succession fight.

The next monarch is a different file if and when it moves. A later death notice in the same house belongs to the edition that owns a later notice. Wednesday prints Oslo.

A cathedral service remains a ceremony, not a succession fight and not a later death notice on this Wednesday world desk.
Print the cathedral. Print the procession as Reuters's. Wednesday is not a crisis and not a second burial.
Crowds along the procession remain Reuters's sentence, not a constitutional count.
