In the spotlight as Norway’s royal family grapples with a crisis surrounding the Crown Prince’s alleged offenses; Mette-Marit remains Queen Consort, long-time public figure. Bonded to Haakon since 2001.
The Crown Princess of Norway has been placed on the lung transplant list as her chronic pulmonary fibrosis deteriorates. Crown Prince Haakon has cut short a visit to Japan to be with his wife, and their daughter Ingrid Alexandra is returning home from Australia/W Australia to support the family. Reports confirm the condition has worsened and a transplant is considered imminent.
The Crown Princess of Norway has undergone a lung transplant at Oslo’s Rikshospitalet after a diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis in 2018. She remains in hospital for several weeks as she recovers; the palace says the procedure went well and her husband, Crown Prince Haakon, will adjust his schedule to be with her. The development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of the royal family following a high-profile court case involving her son.
