The Norwegian Royal House has issued an update on King Harald's health, stating that his condition is "unchanged." This follows an earlier announcement on Thursday that described the King's health as "very serious," causing concern among the public and the Royal Family.

In the wake of the serious health bulletin, several members of the Royal Family have been present at the National Hospital in Oslo. The Crown Prince couple, along with Princess Ingrid Alexandra, were seen leaving the hospital. Princess Märtha Louise also arrived at the hospital where her father is being treated. Marius Borg Høiby, the King's stepson, was also reported to have left the hospital.

Beyond the immediate family, the situation has drawn national attention. The President of the Storting, Masud Gharahkhani, cut short a meeting in Iceland to return to Norway due to the King's condition. Outside the Royal Palace in Oslo, a growing number of Norwegians have gathered to show their support, leaving flowers and sharing personal stories about the King's importance in their lives, with some describing him as a "bestefar" (grandfather).

Internationally, the Swedish Royal Family has also conveyed their support. The Swedish Royal Court confirmed close contact with the Norwegian Royal Family, offering their full support during this challenging period. The gravity of the situation led Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre to cancel a planned trip to Germany.
