Norway’s King Harald V has left an Oslo hospital, where he was treated with intravenous antibiotics for an infection.
”The king is on the road to recovery but will take it easy for a few days,” the Norwegian palace said in a brief statement.
The 85-year-old monarch was admitted to hospital on Monday.
The heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon, stepped in to take over his father’s duties.
Harald, who has been seen using crutches in recent years, has been in hospital several times in recent months, including for another infection in August.
He went through a successful operation to replace a heart valve in October 2020 after being admitted with breathing difficulties.
Harald’s duties as Norway’s head of state are ceremonial and he holds no political power.
He ascended to the throne following the death of his father, King Olav, in 1991.
