Norway’s King Harald died at the age of 89 on Friday, August 28, the royal palace said, prompting the flag at Oslo Palace to be lowered to half mast. The palace said Harald died peacefully at Oslo University Hospital at 6:35 a.m. local time after being taken to hospital on August 17 for treatment of a bacterial infection in his blood. Harald, who was Europe’s oldest living monarch, became king in 1991 following the death of his father, King Olav V. During his reign, Harald introduced modern touches to the Norwegian monarchy while maintaining the institution’s role as a symbol of national independence.
