King Harald V of Norway died at the age of 89 on August 28, 2026. Born on February 21, 1937, he was a central figure in the Norwegian monarchy for more than three decades.

He ascended to the throne in 1991, succeeding his father, King Olav V. During his reign, he became known for bringing the royal family closer to the Norwegian people.

Harald V maintained a discreet and, at times, even informal style for a European head of state, which earned him great popularity among citizens.

His death marks the end of an important chapter in the history of modern Norway, leaving a legacy of closeness to the people that characterized his long reign.

The article describes a solidarity initiative at São João Hospital, in Porto, where hospitalized children receive books to continue studying during treatments or prolonged hospitalizations. For many of these young patients, the return to classes does not happen in a traditional school, but rather within the hospital walls, where they spend weeks or months away from the classroom. The initiative aims to ensure that these children do not lose contact with learning and maintain a routine as close as possible to normal school life.
