Norway's 89-year-old King Harald is in an "extremely serious" condition after his health deteriorated while being treated in hospital for a blood disorder, the royal palace said on Thursday.
"His Majesty the King's health condition is extremely serious," the palace said in a statement, without providing further details.
Queen Sonja and Crown Prince Haakon, who is acting as regent during his father's illness, have cancelled all royal engagements, while Norwegian media reported that members of the royal family were at the king's bedside.
