Скачать или смотреть Crown Princess Mette Marit’s Shocking Health Update Lung Transplant Ahead!

On December 19, 2025, the Norwegian Royal Palace issued a somber statement confirming that Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 52, is preparing for a potential lung transplant due to a significant worsening of her chronic pulmonary fibrosis. Diagnosed in October 2018 with this rare, incurable disease that causes scarring in the lungs and reduces oxygen uptake, the princess has managed her condition with medication and periodic rest, but recent autumn tests at Rikshospitalet University Hospital revealed a "clear deterioration" in her health, accelerating faster than anticipated. Professor Are Martin Holm, head of pulmonary medicine at Oslo University Hospital, stated, “We are approaching the time when a lung transplant must be performed, and we are making the necessary preparations so that it will be possible when the time comes,” though no decision has yet been made on placing her on the waiting list. In an emotional interview with NRK, Mette-Marit shared, “I had hoped to keep this illness in check with medicines, and the progression has been quite slow, but now it’s gone more rapidly than both I and the doctors had anticipated.” Her husband, Crown Prince Haakon, noted the family’s observations of her increased breathing difficulties and reduced energy, adding that activities like hiking or skiing are no longer possible. Despite the challenges, the palace emphasized Mette-Marit’s strong desire to continue royal duties, with her schedule adapted to prioritize rest and targeted exercise. The princess, who last appeared publicly on December 17 visiting a nursing home with her family, has been praised for her transparency, with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre stating it could help others facing similar issues and wishing her a speedy recovery. Norway typically has 20-40 patients on the lung transplant waiting list, and Mette-Marit will receive no preferential treatment. This health crisis comes amid a difficult year for the royal family, but public support remains strong for the beloved crown princess, whose openness has inspired many.
