King Harald V's health deteriorates and is considered "extremely serious"

SAPO Notícias28 August 2026 at 00:15

The Norwegian Royal House announced this Thursday a worsening of King Harald V's health, revealing that the monarch's clinical condition is now considered "extremely serious". The king, 89 years old, has been hospitalized at the University Hospital of Oslo since August 17, after complications related to hemolytic anemia, a disease that affects red blood cells. The Norwegian monarch's situation has been deteriorating in recent weeks, leading the Crown to issue increasingly concerning communiqués about his condition. Harald V ascended to the throne of Norway in 1991 and is Europe's oldest head of state, having turned 89 in February. The Norwegian royal family asked for privacy during this difficult time, while the country awaits more information about the evolution of his monarch's health.
