“Her Majesty the Queen was admitted to the National Hospital today due to heart problems,” a statement from the Norwegian Royal House read. “The Queen has heart fibrillation and heart failure, and has been hospitalized for a few days for examinations and observation.”

Earlier this week, the royal family released a statement that Queen Sonja would be “on sick leave for a week due to atrial fibrillation and heart failure,” adding that she “needs rest and adjustment of her medication.”
