Norway's crown princess undergoes successful lung transplant, palace says
The palace said she is recovering in hospital and will stay several weeks as doctors adjust medication and monitor complications.
- On Wednesday, Crown Princess Mette-Marit underwent a successful lung transplant at Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet, the royal house confirmed, after she was placed on the transplant list earlier this month.
- Diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2018, Mette-Marit faced a progressive disease causing significant scarring and breathing difficulties; her condition deteriorated significantly over the past six months, necessitating the procedure.
- Oslo University Hospital Professor Are Holm stated the procedure went well, with Mette-Marit remaining hospitalized for several weeks to adjust medications and manage complications during recovery.
- The surgery coincides with family turmoil: Marius Borg Hoiby, the 29-year-old son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was sentenced on Monday to four years in prison for rape and domestic violence.
- While the royal house thanked the public for support, the monarchy faces scrutiny over Mette-Marit's past contact with Jeffrey Epstein; support for retaining the monarchy fell to 60% in February, recovering to 64% in May.
