Norway’s palace announces that Crown Princess Mette-Marit has undergone a lung transplant and presents its first image of her since the procedure. The announcement comes after the royal’s long-standing respiratory condition. In 2018, she was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that causes scarring of the lungs and leads to breathing difficulties. Over time, her health affects her public responsibilities, and she scales back duties accordingly. On June 17, palace officials state that the transplant was successful, indicating the procedure has achieved its intended immediate outcome. Both reports describe the same diagnosis and timeline, including the 2018 onset of pulmonary fibrosis and the impact it has on her ability to carry out engagements. The new image is intended to provide an update on her condition and recovery following the transplant.
