It's March 31st. You're listening to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered entertainment coverage. Princess Astrid of Norway, the 94-year-old sister of King Harold, just shook off about of pneumonia and she's recovering nicely. The Royal House confirmed it on March 31st after she landed in Oslo National Hospital on March 27th. They first shared the update a few days earlier on March 28th. She skipped the recent Belgian state visit from March 24th to March 26th, because she needed rest. Palace officials stressed that downtime was key for her comeback. Meanwhile, King Harold and Queen Sonia dropped by the hospital to check on her. Astrid's no stranger to stepping up for the crown. She acted as Norway's first lady from 1954 to 1968, filling in after. Her mom's passing and before her brother, Wet Sonia. She's got five kids from her 1961 marriage to Johan Martin-Ferner, none in active royal

gigs and she's never been in line for the throne. King Harold himself dealt with an infection and dehydration scare in late February while vacationing in Tenerife, but he bounced back quick and jumped into duties by March. Astrid marched her 94th birthday on February 12th with a fresh palace portrait. Folks are relieved she's pulling through at her age, a reminder how these royals keep serving no matter what life throws their way.
