King Harald V of Norway died at the age of 89 in Oslo following a recent hospitalization, representatives of the Norwegian Royal Palace announced on Aug. 28.
Norwegian King Harald V, the 89-year-old monarch, passed away on Aug. 28 at Oslo University Hospital. Royal Palace representatives confirmed his peaceful demise at 6:35 a.m. local time. He was admitted to the hospital on Aug. 17, following a hospitalization. Hospital reports indicated that Harald V had developed hemolytic anemia, a condition causing rapid destruction of red blood cells, resulting in chronic fatigue and shortness of breath.
Earlier, the Royal Palace had informed the public that the King's son, Crown Prince Haakon, and Queen Sonja had canceled all public engagements due to their father's deteriorating health. The monarch was survived by his son, 53-year-old Haakon, who will now serve as the ceremonial head of state.
