  "summary": "Norway's King Harald, 89, has experienced a deterioration in health over the weekend, according to the royal palace. He has been on sick leave for several weeks and was admitted to the National Hospital a week ago. The king is currently receiving antibiotics for a bacterial blood infection and has responded well to treatment, with his condition being described as stable. Crown Prince Haakon, serving as regent, has been closely monitoring his father's health. King Harald, who has been monarch since 1991, has a history of hospitalizations due to hemolytic anemia and cortisone treatment leading to fluid accumulation in the body.",
