Norway’s aging king, Harald V, has been admitted to a hospital and is receiving treatment for an infection, the Norwegian palace said in a brief statement Monday.
”The king has been diagnosed with an infection that needs to be treated, and will therefore remain in hospital for a few days,” the palace said, adding that the condition of the 86-year-old monarch was stable.Harald, who has been seen using crutches in recent years, has been hospitalized several times in recent months. In December, he was also admitted to a hospital due to an infection and was treated with intravenous antibiotics. He also was hospitalized in August for three days with a fever.
He went through a successful operation to replace a heart valve in October 2020 after being hospitalized with breathing difficulties.Harald’s duties as Norway’s head of state are ceremonial, and he holds no political power. He ascended to the throne following the death of his father, King Olav, in 1991.
