The 89-year-old monarch has been hospitalized since August 17 at Rikshospitalet in Oslo due to complications related to hemolytic anemia, a disease that causes the accelerated destruction of red blood cells. Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and his wife Mette-Marit have cancelled all official engagements and remain at the hospital with the king, who is also receiving treatment for a blood infection.
