The king was scheduled to attend an event commemorating Germany’s surrender in World War II in Oslo on Monday, but he was instead represented by his son and heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon, who has taken on some of his father’s duties in recent years.
“Apart from today, there has been no change to his programme, at least for the time being,” a palace spokesperson said.
