Norway’s 89-year-old monarch, King Harald, is scheduled to leave a Spanish hospital on Thursday following treatment for health complications that arose during his vacation, according to an announcement from the royal palace.<\/p>

The elderly king, who holds the distinction of being Europe’s oldest reigning head of state, was hospitalized Tuesday on the island of Tenerife after developing a leg infection and becoming dehydrated during his private getaway.<\/p>

According to palace officials, King Harald and Queen Sonja plan to extend their personal visit to Tenerife, with no timeline established for their return to Norway.<\/p>

The monarch’s personal doctor will stay on the Spanish island for several additional days to keep watch over the king’s condition, the palace statement indicated.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
