Norway's Queen Sonja in hospital after breathing problems
Queen Sonja of Norway, 87, was admitted to an Oslo hospital late Monday following breathing difficulties, the royal palace announced.
'The Queen was transported by medical helicopter from the royal chalet in Sikkilsdalen, where the royal couple were spending the Easter holidays,' the palace said in a statement.
Since 1924, the Norwegian royal family has spent most of its Easter holidays at the chalet, according to the NTB news agency.
Queen Sonja was briefly hospitalised in January after experiencing cardiac fibrillation, a rapid and irregular heartbeat. She then had a pacemaker installed, a procedure the palace described as 'successful.'
Her husband, King Harald, is Europe's oldest reigning monarch at 88. He also had a pacemaker inserted in March 2024 after contracting an infection during a private vacation in Malaysia.

World leaders from Trump to Zelensky to attend Pope's funeral
ROME — Pope Francis's funeral will take place on Saturday in St Peter's Square, the Vatican has confirmed, with hundreds of thousands expected to attend. The head of the Catholic Church died of a stroke on Monday, aged 88, less than 24 hours after leading an Easter address. He had been in poor health after recently battling double pneumonia. A host of world leaders and royals — including Sir Keir Starmer, Donald Trump, the Prince of Wales, and President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil, home to the biggest Catholic population in the world — have confirmed their attendance. Thousands of mourners have already flocked to Vatican City, carrying flowers, crosses and candles and reciting prayers. On Tuesday, the Vatican released further details of the Pope's final 24 hours. Francis, who had recently spent five weeks in hospital, was slightly apprehensive about appearing on the balcony on Sunday. "Do you think I can do this?" the Pope asked his personal nurse, Massimiliano Strappetti. Strappetti reassured him and moments later the pontiff appeared on the balcony, blessing the crowd gathered in St Peter's Square below. The following morning at around 05:30 local time (03:30 GMT), Francis began to feel unwell. An hour later, he waved at Strappetti before slipping into a coma. "Those who were near him in those moments say he didn't suffer," the Vatican said in a statement. "It was a discreet death." On Wednesday morning, Pope Francis's body will be taken in a procession led by cardinals from the Chapel of Santa Marta to St Peter's Basilica, where he will remain in an open coffin until Friday to allow mourners to pay their respects. Just before the procession, a moment of prayer will be led by the camerlengo, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who is running the Vatican in the wake of the Pope's death. The Vatican has released photos of the Pope's body lying in the chapel at Casa Santa Marta - his residence during his 12-year papacy - dressed in a red robe with the papal mitre on his head and a rosary in his hand. The general public will be able to visit St Peter's Basilica from 11:00 to midnight on Wednesday, 07:00 to midnight on Thursday and 07:00 to 19:00 on Friday. Bucking tradition, there will be no private viewing for cardinals, at Pope Francis's request. The Pope's coffin will also not be raised on a pedestal. The funeral will start at 10:00 in the square in front of St Peter's Basilica. Patriarchs, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, and priests from across the globe will take part. The dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, will lead the service. Cardinal Battista Re will deliver the final commendation and valediction and the pontiff's body will be moved to St Mary Major for the burial. A nine-day mourning period, known as Novemdiales, then begins. Huge crowds are anticipated on Saturday, with as many as 250,000 people expected to attend the funeral. Many heads of state and royals have confirmed their attendance, including Prince William, US President Donald Trump, Spain's King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia and French President Emmanuel Macron. Other political figures who have announced they will attend include: Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva Polish President Andrzej Duda EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Javier Milei, the president of Argentina, Francis's home country British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni Pope Francis, who famously eschewed some of the pomp of the papacy during his life, will continue to break with tradition in death. Historically, popes are buried in triple coffins in marble tombs inside St Peter's Basilica at the heart of the Vatican. Pope Francis requested that he instead be buried at Rome's Basilica of St Mary Major. He will become the first pope in more than 100 years to be laid to rest outside the Vatican. In his final testament, Pope Francis also asked to be buried "in the earth, simple, without particular decoration" and with the inscription only of his papal name in Latin: Franciscus. His body was moved into the Santa Marta chapel on Monday evening, and his apartment formally sealed, the Vatican said. Following the funeral, a conclave of cardinals will convene to elect a successor. The dean of the College of Cardinals has 15 to 20 days to summon the cardinals to Rome once the Pope is buried. Several names have already been floated as potential successors, with more likely to emerge in the coming days. — BBC

Pope Francis died from stroke followed by heart failure, Vatican says
ROME — Pope Francis passed away due to a stroke and irreversible cardiovascular arrest, according to the death certificate released by Vatican doctor Andrea Arcangeli. The document, which was released by The Vatican, also noted that the pope had fallen into a coma before his death. In addition to his recent lung infection, Arcangeli stated that Francis had been battling high blood pressure and diabetes. The 88-year-old pontiff recently spent five weeks in a Rome hospital, battling against a life-threatening bout of double pneumonia, but returned to the Vatican and lighter duties toward the end of March. It was not his first encounter with pulmonary issues as Francis suffered from chronic lung disease his entire life, even having part of his lung removed as a young man. Francis made his last public appearance on Easter Sunday, to bless thousands of people in St Peter's Square. The Vatican says the public will likely be able to begin paying their final respects to Pope Francis starting on Wednesday in St. Peter's Basilica, however the exact date will be confirmed after cardinals gather for the first time following his death on Tuesday morning. Francis' coffin will be moved from the chapel of the Domus Santa Marta hotel, where he had lived, to St. Peter's Basilica for public viewing. In a departure from tradition, and as requested by the late pope, his body will not be placed on an elevated bier but instead will rest in a wooden coffin facing the pews. Before passing, Francis also expressed his wish to be buried in the ground at St. Mary Major Basilica, which houses his beloved icon of the Virgin Mary, to whom he had deep devotion. While no specific date has been set for the funeral, it must take place between four and six days after his death. Meanwhile, a 'sede vacante', or 'vacant see', has now begun in The Vatican, which is the period between the death of one pope and the election of another. To mark the beginning of this period, Pope Francis' formal apartment has been sealed with red ribbon and wax in a ritual that is a key part of the tradition after a pope dies. Officials draped a red ribbon through the door handles of the apartment in the Apostolic Palace, then poured liquid wax on the bow and impressed Francis' papal seal to keep it closed. To elect a new pope, cardinals from across the globe will convene for the conclave. The voting process is conducted in secret and typically lasts between two and three weeks. However, it may take longer if the cardinals have difficulty reaching a consensus on a candidate. The conclave is expected to begin no sooner than 15 days and no later than 20 days after the pope's death. — Euronews
