King Harald of Norway is in an “extremely serious” condition.
The 89-year-old king - who is the oldest reigning monarch in Europe - has been hospitalised in Oslo for the last 10 days with a bacterial blood infection while receiving cortisone treatment for haemolytic anaemia, a condition caused by a rapid destruction of red blood cells, which leads to shortness of breath and fatigue, but his condition worsened on Monday (24.08.26) and he has subsequently further deteriorated.
