King Harald of Norway`s sick leave is officially over and he will resume his constitutional duties from April 12th 2021.
King Harald’s sick leave has been extended several times since an operation earlier this year and there was great interest in whether it would be further extended. In March, the Royal Court stated:
“The king is making a good recovery and continues treatment and training after the operation for torn tendons above the knee”.
As is well known, the king underwent surgery for a broken tendon in his knee. On the same day as the operation took place, the Royal House stated that the king’s operation was successful and that he was in good shape. In connection with the operation, the king was originally on sick leave until 14 February. This has since been extended several times. During this period, it is Crown Prince Haakon who has served as regent and carried out the king’s constitutional duties.
