OSLO: Norway’s King Harald was discharged from a Malaysian hospital on Sunday (Mar 3) and was flying home on a medical evacuation plane, according to Norwegian media reports, after receiving treatment for an infection and receiving a temporary pacemaker.

The oldest reigning monarch in Europe at 87 years old, Harald contracted an infection while on a trip to the island of Langkawi and was admitted to hospital on Tuesday.

Norway’s royal palace said on Saturday that he had been fitted with a “temporary” pacemaker, which his personal physician said would make his return safer.
