LILLEHAMMER (Dagbladet): On Friday morning it became clear that King Harald had been admitted to Rikshostpitalet due to heavy breathing.
In other words, this meant that the official program received some adjustments and that Queen Sonja had to go alone to the planned celebration at her childhood home in Lillehammer.
Reveal reason for admission
Initially, the royal couple were to meet to mark the completion of Tuengen allé 1b, in Maihaugen.
– I saw it today and it’s going well. So she’ll be on her feet soon, she said when greeted by county governor Knut Storberget.
At the same time that the Queen visited Maihaugen, Crown Prince Haakon (47) and Princess Märtha Louise (49) were on a medical visit to their father at Rikshospitalet in Oslo.
The modern villa from the 1930s was the home of the queen from 1937 to 1968, at that time the queen’s name was Sonja Haraldsen.
The queen also commented on the king’s hospitalization on the way to the childhood home.
– I passed before going to Lillehammer. It goes very well. The king himself is happy and the doctor is happy. He’s going to take some samples.
– Are you standing? Asks one of the journalists present.
– No, not yet, but soon, answers the queen.

It was in the basement of the childhood home that he had secret meetings with then-Crown Prince Harald. It took four years to repair the house.
The Queen brings a company of private guests to Lillehammer, including real estate investor Christian Ringnes.
Spoke from the stage
The house was moved from Vinderen in Oslo to Maihaugen in Lillehammer and was opened to the public on the royal couple’s golden wedding day on August 29, two years ago.
The program does not change after admission.
Project President Laila Boukari says the following about the villa from the stage.
– The house is a story about love and the Norwegian royal house.
Project manager Torger Korpsberget says the queen herself has made a significant contribution to the rebuilding of the village.
– His memory and sense of detail has been invaluable, he says.

Queen Sonja speaks from the stage, where she thanks those who have worked on the project.
– It is a strange experience to see the childhood home moved. Now he has a view, he never has, he says.
The queen makes laugh several times from the living room, among other things, showing the keys, which she herself says she has never had.
– I’m proud, the house has become absolutely fantastic. The corner room on the second floor was my room where I could be alone with my thoughts, he says.
Feeling isolated
However, he did not mention anything about the king’s hospitalization from the rostrum.
I did not change the program
Earlier in the day, the queen was in Rikshostpitalet to visit the king. She then went to the hospital and was escorted by security guards.
Friday was also a cabinet meeting. Later, Crown Prince Haakon had to replace his father. He did the same earlier this year, when King Harald was admitted to the same hospital due to dizziness.
It became clear early Friday that the actual program would not change due to admission. The Royal Household Seeing and Hearing expert Anders Johan Stavseng noted, however, that it will be a long time before the king cancels a task.

– Today, as I said, was the childhood home of the Minister and Sonja in Maihaugen, so he had probably looked forward to that day. So something has probably happened here that those around them, or the king himself, have decided that further review is needed here, he said Friday.
He also emphasized that the queen would hardly complete the visit to Lillehammer if there was an immediate danger to the king’s health.
