The office of King Harald of Norway reported a new deterioration in his health. The official statement characterizes it as extremely severe. The 89-year-old monarch’s subjects bring flowers to the palace to show solidarity.

Queen Sofia and her son Crown Prince Haakon canceled all events to be at his bedside at the Oslo University Hospital, where he has been staying for ten days. The 53-year-old Prince Haakon is entrusted with the duties of regent. Television channels have changed their broadcast schedule.

Harald suffers from hemolytic anemia, a disease that causes rapid destruction of red blood cells. Its symptoms include fatigue, weakness, pallor, and shortness of breath. He previously stated that He would not abdicate the throne because He had taken a lifelong oath.
