September 28 marks one month since King Harald V took his final breath at the National Hospital in Oslo.
On August 27, following days of declining health, the Royal Court announced that the King’s condition had deteriorated significantly and was considered serious. Members of his immediate family rushed to be by his bedside.
Throughout the day, concerns grew as news of the King’s failing health spread. Later that evening, a visibly emotional Queen Sonja left the hospital after spending nearly ten hours there. Crown Prince Haakon, as he was then known, arrived at the hospital with Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Later that night, the Crown Princess left the hospital, leaving the Crown Prince by his father’s side.
It is safe to say that Crown Prince Haakon was by his father’s side when he took his final breath at 6:35 a.m. on August 28.
Shortly after his death, members of the Norwegian Royal Family arrived at the hospital. From that moment, the events that followed became history.
