Scandal, Prison, and a Life-Saving Transplant: Inside Crown Princess Mette-Marit's Real 'Annus Horribilis'
The Norwegian royal will spend six months in rehabilitation and miss official duties after a successful lung transplant, doctors said.
- On her 53rd birthday today, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway celebrates privately while continuing recovery from a lung transplant at Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet.
- Mette-Marit faced a difficult year featuring a health battle, the trial of her son Marius Borg, and public scrutiny regarding past correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein.
- Are Holm, Head of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet, stated her condition is "as good as can be expected under the circumstances" following surgery.
- Despite her serious illness, approval ratings remain at "historic lows," and Caroline Vagle notes that "the sympathy she's gained doesn't necessarily mean the criticism she's faced will fade."
- Defining her role as the future Queen Consort remains important; Vagle believes "what happens going forward will also be important" for Mette-Marit's return to public life.
