Queen Sonja of Norway, aged 88, rushed to a Tenerife hospital to support her husband, King Harald, who is 89 years old and undergoing treatment for an infection and dehydration. According to reports from Aftonbladet, Queen Sonja was seen sitting in the backseat of a car en route to the hospital, with two bodyguards present outside for safety reasons. These details underscore the royal family's concern for the king's health during their holiday on the island.

King Harald's personal physician, Bjørn Bendz, has also traveled to Tenerife to be with him. Despite the circumstances, the royal court has informed the public that King Harald is doing well given the situation. Further, Crown Prince Haakon, aged 52, has been appointed as Norway's regent until March 6, indicating the importance of the monarchy's continuity in times of health crises.

The visit highlights the closeness of the royal couple and their commitment to supporting each other during difficult times, especially as King Harald has been a significant figure in Norwegian history. Such instances also draw public interest and concern, reflecting the strong connection between the monarchy and the Norwegian people, especially in times of health-related issues affecting their monarch.
