King Harald V of Norway has died at 89, triggering the automatic succession of his son Haakon as king, amid a period of renewed scrutiny over the royal family. The death also follows controversy surrounding Queen Mette-Marit’s past correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, which has intensified public debate around the monarchy.
Norway’s 89-year-old King Harald V is hospitalized in Oslo with health deteriorating over the weekend due to anaemia and a bacterial infection, with doctors confirming he’s received antibiotics and is stable after showing improvement. The Royal Court says Haakon is acting as regent as the monarch remains in hospital, with planned duties scaled back and ongoing updates about his condition reflecting concern but stability.
Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway, is the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne. He is the only son and second child of King Harald V and Queen Sonja.
