King Harald V of Norway hospitalized as health deteriorates

The Norwegian Royal Palace has announced that the health of 89-year-old King Harald V has deteriorated over the weekend. The monarch, who is the oldest reigning sovereign in Europe, is currently hospitalized at Oslo University Hospital.

King Harald has been receiving treatment for hemolytic anemia, a blood disorder that causes the rapid destruction of red blood cells. His recent hospitalization was initially triggered by fluid retention resulting from cortisone treatment used to manage the anemia.

In addition to the blood disorder, the King has developed a bacterial infection in his blood. He is currently receiving antibiotics and has reportedly responded well to the treatment, with his condition described as stable.

Due to his illness, King Harald has been placed on medical leave and has canceled a planned visit to the Trøndelag region. Crown Prince Haakon is currently serving as Regent, performing the King's official duties during his absence.
