Raja Norway mangkat pada usia 89 tahun
Raja Harald V merupakan raja yang paling lama memerintah di Eropah pada masa kemangkatan baginda.
Norway's King Harald V passed away on Friday at the age of 89, according to the Royal Palace, as reported by Anadolu Agency. The monarch died peacefully at Oslo's National Hospital at 6:35 AM local time (0435 GMT), according to palace officials. Harald was admitted to the hospital on August 17 after undergoing health checks. The palace subsequently revealed that the king was receiving cortisone treatment for hemolytic anemia, a type of blood condition causing fluid accumulation in the body.
The king's health deteriorated after contracting a bacterial infection in his bloodstream, the public broadcaster NRK reported. Crown Prince Haakon succeeded his father as King of Norway according to the country's constitutional provisions. The new king's accession is expected to be addressed in an extraordinary National Council session at the Royal Palace.
The king's name will be announced following the session. Norway does not hold a coronation ceremony, but the new king is expected to take an oath before Parliament under the country's constitutional provisions. Harald ascended the throne on January 17, 1991, succeeding his father King Olav V, and remained the head of state for over 35 years. He was the longest-reigning monarch in Europe since his ascension.
