Princess Ragnhild

Obituary

OSLO, Norway (AP) - Norway's royal palace says King Harald's sister, Princess Ragnhild, has died. She was 82.

The palace says Ragnhild died Sunday at her home in Rio de Janeiro. The cause of death was not given.

The eldest child of King Olav and Crown Princess Martha, Ragnhild could not ascend to the Norwegian throne because the Scandinavian country's Constitution only allowed male succession.

In 1953, Ragnhild married a commoner, Norwegian businessman Erling Sven Lorentzen, and the couple settled in Brazil.

The royal household says a funeral service will be held at the palace but the date and time have not yet been determined.

Åpenbaringen 21:3,4 sier
Da hørte jeg en høy røst fra tronen si: «Se, Guds telt er hos menneskene, og han skal bo hos dem, og de skal være hans folk. Og Gud selv skal være hos dem.Og han skal tørke bort hver tåre fra deres øyne, og døden skal ikke være mer; heller ikke sorg eller skrik eller smerte skal være mer. De ting som var før, er forsvunnet.»

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Princess Ragnhild. I was named after her. My parents were born and grew up in Feda, Norway and immigrated to the U.S. before I was born in 1934.
May God be with you and comfort you.
