The state of health of the princess heiress Mette-Marit de Norway remains worrying. This Friday, September 19, the royal house of Norway announced that the princess will start in October a pulmonary rehabilitation program lasting one month.
Between royal obligations and medical necessity, the princess must once again lift her foot. The wife of the Crown Prince Haakon of Norway was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in October 2018. This progressive and incurable pathology seriously affects its respiratory capacities. The official press release specifies as follows: “Her Royal Highness The Princess Heiress Mette-Marit will begin a pulmonary rehabilitation program for a month in Norway in early October. The heiress princess therefore does not exercise any official function in October ”. According to Royal Stories, the 52 -year -old princess is expected to follow her program in the pneumology department of Rikshospitalet, the main Oslo hospital.
Consequently, Princess Mette-Marit will not participate in any royal event during this period, with the notable exception of the official dinner at the Royal Palace given on October 23 in honor of the representatives of Parliamentthe Norwegian Parliament. The royal house is considering its gradual return to official functions next November. But before taking this break, Mette-Marit still has a few appointments at her agenda. According to their official calendar, the princely couple is expected for a provincial tour from September 23 to 25.

The Norwegian Crown in the face of the test
In addition to her health setbacks, the heiress princess must also face the media storm around her eldest son, Marius Borg. The latter is indeed at the center of a very sensitive trial scheduled for early 2026, with several serious accusations, including four for rapes. On the institutional level, the Norwegian royal family is going through a delicate period due to the aging health of King Harald V and Queen Sonja, both aged 88. Their official commitments are increasingly rare, the king having notably delegated most of his functions to the Crown Prince Haakon. The latter appears today as the pillar around which the official representations are articulated, but it also depends on the unwavering support of his wife Mette-Marit.
