Público28 August 2026 at 07:45

King Harald V of Norway, the oldest king in Europe, died at 89. His death represents the loss of one of the longest-reigning monarchs on the European continent.

The Norwegian king had been hospitalized since August 17, when he was diagnosed with hemolytic anemia. During his hospitalization, his health condition worsened significantly.

During the hospital treatment, Harald V was receiving medical care for a bacterial infection in the blood, a complication that contributed to the worsening of his clinical condition.

The news of the Norwegian monarch's death marks the end of a long reign and now raises questions about the transition of the throne and the future of the monarchy in Norway.
