King Harald V of Norway has been hospitalized with an infection while on vacation in Malaysia, according to a statement released by the Norwegian royal house on Tuesday. The 87-year-old monarch, who has faced several health issues in recent months, is currently receiving medical treatment.
Despite the king's hospitalization, Crown Prince Haakon will continue to fulfill his scheduled engagements in Norway. The royal officials have assured the public that the crown prince will carry out his duties in the absence of King Harald.
