The intervention is planned: The Swedish king Carl Gustaf (76) has to undergo heart surgery.
Sweden’s King Carl XVI. Gustaf is operated on in the heart area. On the advice of his personal doctor, the 76-year-old will have a planned surgical procedure, a so-called keyhole operation, carried out next Monday, as the Swedish royal family announced on Tuesday.
The king is doing well, he will also fulfill his official program until the day of the operation. After the operation, however, he will need some rest. Planned commitments in the following two weeks would therefore be postponed to a later date in spring.
Carl Gustaf celebrates his 50th anniversary of the throne in late summer. A Scandinavian colleague has been on the throne a little longer than he: Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II has been regent of her kingdom for over 51 years. She too will soon have to go to the hospital: the 82-year-old has been struggling with back problems for a long time, which is why she will be operated on on her back next Wednesday.
