King Harald V of Norway, Europe’s oldest monarch at 87 years old, underwent a successful procedure to receive a permanent pacemaker at Oslo's university hospital, Rikshospitalet. The royal household confirmed that the operation went well, and the King is currently in stable condition.
This recent medical intervention comes after the monarch fell ill during a private holiday in Malaysia last month, where he had to undergo surgery and receive a temporary pacemaker due to a low heart rate. Following his return to Norway on a medical airplane, King Harald was promptly admitted to an Oslo hospital for further treatment.
