Norway’s 89-year-old King Harald V, who’s been on the throne since 1991, is on two-week sick leave after being hospitalized for fluid retention linked to a rare blood condition. His 53-year-old son, Crown Prince Haakon, will act as regent. The King, who recently scaled back public duties due to age, has faced several health scares—including a hospitalization in Spain and a pacemaker implantation in Malaysia—while Queen Sonja also underwent heart exams. Meanwhile, the royal family grapples with renewed public scrutiny: Crown Princess Mette-Marit expressed regret over past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and her son from a previous relationship was recently convicted of rape and sentenced to four years.
