Norway’s King Harald V, who was released from a hospital earlier this week, appeared on the royal castle’s balcony to salute the thousands of children marching by as the Scandinavian country celebrated its Constitution Day.
Cheering and shouting, waving blue-white-red Norwegian flags, kindergarten and school students marched in front of the royal palace where Harald, 86, and his wife, Queen Sonja, sat and waved back to the vast crowd, many of whom wore traditional costumes.
Elsewhere in Oslo, the chairman of the Ukrainian parliament, Ruslan Stefanchuk, who was visiting his Norwegian counterpart, stood on another balcony and waved at a cheering flag-waving crowd, saying he hoped that “we as soon as possible can celebrate like this in Ukraine.
In October 2020, the king underwent surgery to replace a heart valve after being hospitalized with breathing difficulties. The king is Norway’s head of state but holds no political power, so the duties are ceremonial. He ascended to the throne following the death of his father, King Olav, in 1991.
