On Friday morning, it was announced that King Harald (83) had been admitted to the Rikshospitalet in Oslo. He reported to the royal family on his website.
In a new press release from the royal family, the admission was justified by the fact that the king was breathing hard.
– The king is now under investigation. Covid-19 is already excluded, it was further stated in the press release.
Queen Sonja visited King Harald
On Friday night, the Palace arrived with an update on the king’s health. Here they write that the king will be admitted to Rikshospitalet over the weekend, but that he will be on sick leave until October 4.
Historic opening of the Storting
By all accounts, this means that King Harald is on sick leave when the Storting opens on Friday, October 2. Instead, Crown Prince Haakon will likely be responsible for opening the Storting.
In that case, it will be the first time Crown Prince Haakon has received this task.
The last time a crown prince opened the Storting was in 1990, the head of the Storting’s communications department, Mona Mortensen Krane, tells Dagbladet.
Then the then crown prince Harald the Storting opened in place of our then king, King Olav V.
The opening celebration of the Storting 165 will also be historic as a result of the crown’s situation. Both will be shorter and have fewer people present than usual.
– We will remember this opening. It must be implemented in accordance with the Constitution, as safely as possible and to the extent that it is in line with long traditions, says Storting President Tone Wilhelmsen Trøen in a press release on the Storting’s website.
The king should also have guided the minister this morning. It was also a task that Crown Prince Haakon took on.

On Friday morning, Queen Sonja herself drove to Rikshospitalet to visit the king. This was stated by Dagbladet reporter Thea Hope, who was then out of Rikshospitalet.
On Friday afternoon, Queen Sonja, during her official assignment at the reopening of her childhood home in Lillehammer, was able to assure that the king was all right.
– I saw it today and it’s going well. So soon he will be on his feet, he realized.
