Norway Crown Prince 'Worried' About Wife's Health
Prince Haakon said daily oxygen has not eased the princess’s worsening pulmonary fibrosis, and the palace has said she may need a lung transplant.
- On May 26, Crown Prince Haakon told reporters that his wife Princess Mette-Marit's health has deteriorated significantly, describing her as 'gravely ill' and expressing deep concern about her condition.
- Princess Mette-Marit was diagnosed in 2018 with a rare form of pulmonary fibrosis causing breathing difficulties, which has repeatedly forced her to take sick leave or reduce official duties; the palace announced in December she might require a lung transplant.
- Recently appearing publicly with a nasal cannula connected to portable oxygen equipment carried by palace staff, Princess Mette-Marit relies on daily oxygen support. Crown Prince Haakon acknowledged it is 'obviously not an entirely satisfactory solution'.
- Crown Prince Haakon's public disclosure of worry underscores the family's concern about the princess's trajectory and the limitations of current oxygen therapy alone to sustain her condition long-term.
- Beyond her health crisis, the royal family faces compounding pressures: documents released in January linked Princess Mette-Marit to convicted US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, while her son Marius Borg Hoiby's rape trial—which he denies—approaches a June 15 verdict.
