Norway's King Harald V Hospitalised and Put on Sick Leave, Palace Says
The palace said cortisone treatment for haemolytic anaemia caused fluid retention, and the 89-year-old monarch will be on sick leave for two weeks.
- 89-Year-Old King Harald was admitted to the National Hospital in Oslo following a medical examination, the Royal House of Norway announced. He will take two weeks of sick leave, during which Crown Prince Haakon will serve as regent.
- The Royal Palace stated Harald is suffering from hemolytic anemia, a blood disorder. Recent cortisone treatment for this condition led to fluid retention, requiring hospital care.
- Harald, Europe's oldest reigning monarch, has faced multiple health challenges in recent years, including receiving a pacemaker. He was previously hospitalized earlier this year in Tenerife for infection and dehydration.
- Queen Sonja was briefly hospitalized for heart problems in May, and Crown Princess Mette-Marit underwent a lung transplant in July following a chronic lung disease. The Norwegian royal family faces a difficult health period.
- Beyond health crises, Mette-Marit has contended with her son Marius Borg Hoiby's imprisonment after he was sentenced in June to four years in prison. Documents also revealed her past correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein.
