On 25 September, the Royal Palace said that Norwegian King Harald V had been admitted to the Oslo University Hospital because of heavy breathing. He was allowed to leave three days later.

Norway's King Harald V will undergo heart surgery this week to replace a heart valve, the Royal Palace said in a statement.

"It will not be open-heart surgery. The king will be awake during the procedure", the palace said in a statement.
