Norway’s King Harald V is hospitalized following treatment for haemolytic anaemia, the Norwegian Royal House says. The palace also places the monarch on sick leave as part of his recovery.
The reports describe haemolytic anaemia as a blood disorder in which red blood cells are destroyed prematurely. The Mirror and Euronews both cite the palace’s confirmation that he has been dealing with the condition in recent weeks and that he is now receiving hospital care. The Daily Mail likewise reports that he is taken to hospital and is on sick leave, adding that his condition includes shortness of breath, though the core description remains the same across outlets: treatment for the same blood disorder and a period of rest.
