The new king of Norway, Haakon VIII, in an emotional statement remembering his aunt said: "Princess Astrid warmly and dutifully represented the royal family." These words reflect Astrid's important and influential role in Norway's social and political life.
Princess Astrid, recognized as one of the respected figures in Norwegian society, had been known in recent years for her charitable and social activities. She held a special place in the hearts of the Norwegian people not only as a member of the royal family but also as a person with a big heart.
