The King won't be able to attend meetings today in Vietnam, because he has got some stomach problems, the Palace reported in a press-release today. VG also reports that he's still ill, and won't attend the official programme of the evening.

Queen Sonja also confessed to NTB that she had noticed some stomach pains herself, but as she followed through on her programme, it was okay.

Was there a reason given why the King and Queen were a bit ill during this trip? Was it a reaction to the climate, food or something else? Or in King Harald's case, was it something to do with his cancer?

In the picture with the hat, I think that King Harald looks a lot like his father King Olav...
