Norway’s King Harald V is experiencing a deterioration in his health as he continues to battle an infection, the royal palace announced today. The 87-year-old monarch has been under medical supervision and treatment for the infection, first revealed earlier this week. While details regarding the specific nature of the infection haven’t been disclosed, the palace statement indicates a worsening condition. King Harald has previously faced health challenges, including a heart procedure in 2020 and a recent infection during winter. Crown Prince Haakon is currently performing the duties of King Harald while he is unwell. The palace has requested privacy for the royal family during this difficult time and will provide further updates as appropriate.
