King Harald in hospital – Crown Prince Haakon takes over royal duties
The Norwegian monarchy is in a transitional phase as King Harald is in the hospital and Crown Prince Haakon assumes responsibility.
King Harald of Norway is currently in a hospital, which means that Crown Prince Haakon has taken on almost all royal responsibilities. This has been confirmed by several sources explaining the monarch's situation.
Public royal activities, on the other hand, are being shaped by Mette-Marit, Crown Prince Haakon's wife. Following her lung transplant, she made her first public appearance and was seen together with Haakon on the way to the hospital to visit King Harald.
Alongside the health challenges, the upcoming silver wedding anniversary of Mette-Marit and Haakon on August 25, 2023, is also mentioned. Despite these difficult times, they plan to celebrate the day in a small way, although no large party is envisioned.
