King Harald of Norway, 89, who is hospitalised due to complications related to a blood disorder, is in an “extremely serious” condition, the Norwegian Royal Palace announced on 27 August 2026. Crown Prince Haakon and Queen Sonja have cancelled all their engagements.
King Harald V suffers from haemolytic anaemia, a blood disorder in which red blood cells are destroyed at an abnormally rapid rate. He has been hospitalised at Oslo University Hospital since last Monday. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre has also cancelled his upcoming trip to Germany as attention remains focused on the monarch’s condition. Flowers and a candle have been placed outside the palace.
