Norway King’s Health Condition ‘Very Serious’, Royal Court Says
The palace said the 89-year-old monarch’s condition worsened after treatment for a bacterial blood infection, and Crown Prince Haakon has taken on regent duties.
- On Thursday, the Royal Palace announced that King Harald's health has deteriorated while in the National Hospital in Oslo, describing the 89-year-old monarch's condition as "very serious."
- Harald, Europe's oldest head of state, was hospitalized on August 17 for a bacterial blood infection after complications from hemolytic anemia treatment earlier this month.
- Crown Prince Haakon and Queen Sonja have canceled all planned events, with Sonja withdrawing from the Foreign Affairs Council where she was expected to appear alongside the Crown Prince.

- Despite these adjustments, the 88-year-old Queen remains scheduled to attend a board meeting for the Queen Sonja Print Award on Thursday, though she previously experienced heart failure earlier this year.
