Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has undergone a lung transplant in Oslo and is now recovering, the Norwegian Royal Household says. Multiple outlets report that she has been living with chronic lung disease since 2018, including a rare pulmonary fibrosis condition that has progressively worsened. Several reports state she was placed on a transplant waiting list shortly before the surgery—about two weeks prior. The palace describes the operation as successful and says she will remain in hospital during her recovery. Newspapers also highlight that the announcement comes at a difficult time for Norway’s royal family, though details beyond the transplant are not part of the core medical report in the shared coverage. Overall, sources align on the same key points: her longstanding lung illness, the move onto a transplant list, the successful completion of the transplant, and her continued hospital care in Oslo while she recovers.
