Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway - Hospilizations & Serious Health Issues

Liv Anette Luane / The Royal Court.

I think anytime a royal is in the hospital or having a major health event, there is public concern. I have compiled this information for the purpose of allowing the public to better understand the royal's health history.

All information I share is publicly available information that has been released by the palace. Out of respect for the royals, I don't include any rumors or anything not confirmed by the palace or royals. 

Ongoing 

  • Crown Princess Mette-Marit was diagnosed with the Chronic Pulmonary Fibrosis in 2018. Pulmonary Fibrosis is a lung disease that makes it more difficult for your lungs to work properly.
  • Investigation and treatment are taking place at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet in cooperation with medical professionals abroad.
  • As a result she does not do a full schedule of engagements and says "she gets exhausted faster than before & has to take better care of herself."
