After a mourning period that began on 28 August following the death of King Harald and ended on 9 October, members of the Norwegian royal family gradually resumed official duties. King Haakon is due to resume work visits, although no larger trips or state visits are planned for the autumn and winter. A single report said Queen Mette-Marit is not active for the time being. Another single report said it remains unclear whether Haakon will receive an ecclesiastical blessing as king.
