According to the statement, His Majesty will be on vacation for two weeks and during that period the Crown Prince will carry out his duties as regent.
On Saturday, King Harald V successfully underwent a pacemaker implant procedure at HSM following his weak heart rate as confirmed by his personal physician, Bjorn Bendz.
Bendz reportedly said the pacemaker implant allowed him to travel home more safely.
Bernama on 28 February reported that King Harald V received treatment at HSM after falling ill while on holiday in Malaysia.
