King Harald of Norway, aged 89, is being discharged from a Tenerife hospital after receiving treatment for a skin infection on his leg. The announcement made by the royal palace confirmed that the King has responded well to his treatment and is recuperating satisfactorily. He and Queen Sonja, who are currently enjoying a private vacation on the Spanish island, will continue their stay even after the King's discharge, though no decision has yet been made regarding their return to Norway.

The King's hospitalization occurred on Tuesday due to complications from the infection, but his condition improved rapidly, prompting the decision to release him from medical care today. His physician shared information on Wednesday stating that King Harald's overall health was good and that he was reacting positively to the medical intervention. Healthcare specialists associated with the King's treatment will remain in Tenerife for a few days to monitor his recovery closely and ensure there are no further complications.

An update is expected from the royal palace on Monday, March 2, or sooner if there is a significant change in the King's health. This situation puts a spotlight on the health of Norway's monarch, raising public interest in the royal family's activities, particularly given that this is a private trip for the couple, highlighting a blend of personal and public engagements as their health continues to be a topic of national conversation.
