Norway King’s Health Condition ‘Very Serious’, Royal Court Says
The palace said the 89-year-old king has a bacterial blood infection, while Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon canceled all planned engagements.
- 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.
- Haakon attended the Military Tattoo alone on Wednesday from the Royal Palace balcony in Oslo, as the event originally scheduled for Tuesday with Sonja was rescheduled while he assumes his father's duties.
- 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.
