# Members of Norway’s royal family have gathered around the bedside of King Harald in hospital. The 89-year-old monarch’s health has deteriorated, and the royal palace says his condition is now very serious. Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon have cancelled their official engagements and joined other family members at Oslo University Hospital. Harald has been receiving treatment for haemolytic anaemia and a bacterial blood infection. Haakon has been serving as regent while his father is in hospital.
