On Tuesday, Crown Prince Regent Haakon will be in Bergen to meet young people at the library and at a high school. – It was very nice to have the king home, said the crown prince when he met the press on Tuesday morning. Crown Prince Haakon visited King Harald at Rikshospitalet on Monday. – He is still reduced and needs time to get better. It is probably necessary for him to stay in the hospital for a while longer, says the Crown Prince Regent. – He notices that there is attention around it, of course. There are many people who care for the king, and it is naturally nice to feel that support and care. Youth and source criticism Crown Prince Haakon arrived in Bergen Public Library on Tuesday morning. In addition to the large press gathering, he was met by the mayor of Bergen, Marit Warncke, state administrator Liv Signe Navarsete, cultural councilor Reidar Digranes and police chief of staff Gustav Landro. At the library, the crown prince gets to meet students who are taking part in a project “Think about source criticism”. Crown Prince Haakon with students at the library in Bergen.

Here the theme is the same, and the Crown Prince will meet students who work with source criticism, internationalization and inclusion. The visit comes the day after he visited his father King Harald at Rikshospitalet, where the king is admitted after he fell ill on holiday in Malaysia. The palace has informed that the king will be on sick leave for two weeks. Crown Prince Haakon will act as regent during this period.

Two days later, on Monday, the royal house announced that King Harald needs a permanent pacemaker due to his heart rate being too low. – It is not a major intervention. It is usually done with local anaesthetic. The pacemaker is then placed as a matchbox-sized battery under the skin, preferably in the left shoulder region. Then the wires go from there and down to the heart, explained cardiologist Lars Aaberge at Oslo University Hospital to news on Monday. The king has to be completely infection-free before the permanent pacemaker can be operated on. It may therefore take several days before he can be discharged from Rikshospitalet.
