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."

2025

March

  • Update from Palace:
    • “The Crown Princess has daily symptoms and ailments that affect her ability to perform her duties. The Crown Princess needs more rest, and her daily routine changes more quickly than before. This means that changes to her official schedule may occur more frequently, and at shorter notice than we are used to. The Crown Princess has a strong desire to continue working, and therefore we will organize her official program in the future in the best possible way so that her health and work can be combined.”
