Norway's King Harald will reduce his official duties following a recent health scare.
"The King will in the future adapt the program to his age. This will lead to a permanent reduction in the number of activities the King will participate in," a statement said.
The news was confirmed by the Norwegian Royal Court on Monday, April 22, according to Reuters.
Harald, Europe's oldest monarch, was hospitalized in February after contracting an infection during a private holiday in Malaysia. Weeks later he underwent surgery to have a pacemaker fitted.
Despite the reduction in his workload, abdication - which he has previously said he is against - is not on the cards, with the monarch expected to remain on the throne until his death.
The 84-year-old has reigned for 33 years. He is expected to be succeeded by his only son, Crown Prince Haakon, who is married to Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
