Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit made it public six years ago that she was suffering from chronic lung disease. Now she is being treated for it again.
The Norwegian Palace provides a health update on Princess Mette-Marit. Norway’s Crown Princess is again being treated for her chronic lung disease. Previous experience has shown that the side effects of the medication could have an impact on the appointment calendar. That’s why we want to share this information with the public.
The Norwegian princess suffers from pulmonary fibrosis – a chronic lung disease that can lead to, among other things, shortness of breath. The wife of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon, made the illness public six years ago. In recent years, the 51-year-old has canceled several appointments for health reasons or generally cut back on public events.
The couple has been married since 2001. They have two children together – 20-year-old Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus, who is two years younger. Mette-Marit also has a son from a previous relationship, 27-year-old Marius Borg Høiby. There were allegations of violence against him this summer. The investigation into this continues.
