Thanks for sharing the pics.

Were is he living since Ragnhild's death? Has he returned to Rio or is staying permanentely in Oslo? I assume a 90 year-old is not travelling between the two places very often?

It must be a sad milestone birthday for Erling Lorentzen.

Don't his children and grandchildren live mostly in Brazil and the US? I expect his primary residence is also in Brazil.

 

[julliette]

His and Raghnild's primary residence has been Brazil for years. But now I wonder if he has relocated to Oslo for his last years of life. I say because he was in Oslo for Raghnild's funeral not long ago and now he is there again, for a man 90 years old travelling from Rio to Oslo very often may not be that easy any more. Just a question...

BTW, who is the man with Astrid?

Thanks vestfoldlilja for the pictures!

...

BTW, who is the man with Astrid?

I'm not sure but this could be Astrid's son Alexander Ferner.

Ok. Just wondering. What is the religion of the family members and their spouses?

Someone found the dress Princess Ragnhild wore at Princess Astrid's wedding at UFF (a second-hand shop, where the proceeds go to charity), and now it has ended up at a museum next to Princess Astrid's wedding dress: https://www.minmote.no/#!/artikkel/24708321/kjoepte-kjole-paa-uff-var-ekte-prinsessekjole

 

[Somebody]

Wow, that's a neat little story. I wonder how it ended up in there.

Rest in peace, and condolences to the Royal Family.

Strangely, Mr. Lorentzen was removed from the Royal Family a few years after the death of his wife, even though he did not remarry.

But I am not aware of any reason to believe that it was due to any bad blood between him and his brother-in-law, and I am glad the Palace released its message.

What are the current regulations regarding funerals? There will surely be interest in a public memorial given his status as a war hero.

How sad,Rest in Peace Erling Sven Lorentzen!

He lived to see his 98th birthday back in January.

What are the current regulations regarding funerals? There will surely be interest in a public memorial given his status as a war hero.

There's a ban on (public) events in Norway, but funerals and memorial ceremonies are grandfathered in. Up to 50 guests are allowed to attend.
