Escalation: Royal House of Norway declares king's condition 'extremely serious'
Norway’s palace said 89-year-old King Harald’s condition is extremely serious. He has been in Oslo University Hospital since August 17 with haemolytic anaemia, a blood disease that destroys red blood cells. After improving on antibiotics for a bacterial infection earlier in the week, his condition worsened Monday and deteriorated further overnight.
Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon canceled all engagements and joined other relatives at the hospital. People left flowers outside the Oslo palace. The prime minister canceled a trip to Germany as the country awaited updates.
