Harald V of Norway has finally reappeared after the health setback he suffered earlier this month while enjoying a private holiday in Malaysia and after which he had to undergo surgery to have a pacemaker implanted. An operation that was carried out just a few days ago, but whose recovery seems to have gone wonderfully, according to the appearance of the monarch.
The Danish sovereign, 87, appears to be in good health in this new appearance with his family, with whom he met in Bygdø Kongsgård, Oslo, to celebrate the beginning of Holy Week and congratulate all Norwegians on Easter. .
They have done so through an official portrait that they have shared with everyone through their official profiles on social networks, and in which you can see Queen Sonia, the crown princes Haakon-Magnus and Mette-Marit; and her two children, Princess Ingrid and the youngest of the family, Prince Sverre Magnus.
In the message that accompanies the image on Instagram, you can read: “The royal family wishes everyone a very good Easter.” The royal couple and the Crown Prince’s family gathered in Bygdø Kongsgård at the beginning of Easter.” .
A family picture, in which everyone is elegantly dressed, but with a casual touch. In the center of the image, along with her grandparents, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, heir to her father and who at 19 years old has already begun her military training.
The family meeting comes after weeks of concern among Norwegians about the health of their sovereign. The monarch and his wife were on vacation on the island of Langkawi, Malaysia, when he had to be admitted to the hospital. There he was operated on and admitted, placing a temporary pacemaker due to his low heart rate.
Porcoo was later transferred to Oslo, where he had to undergo another surgery to implant a pacemaker at the Rikshospitalet hospital in Oslo. King Harald, for the moment, is on sick leave until April 8, so he does not attend official commitments. His son, Prince Haakon, is the one who assumes his duties as king.
Despite his delicate state of health, King Harald has always made it clear that he has no intention of abdicating, as his “neighbor”, Queen Margaret of Denmark, has done, leaving her duties to her son, Prince Frederick. Today, King Harald is Europe’s longest living monarch, serving as Head of State since 1991.
