Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has undergone a successful lung transplant and will remain in hospital for several weeks as she begins her recovery, doctors at Oslo University Hospital said yeserday.
The 52-year-old wife of Crown Prince Haakon, heir to the Norwegian throne, was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2018, a chronic disease that causes scarring in the lungs and reduces oxygen uptake.
The hospital said the transplant had “so far” been successful, in a statement provided by the palace, but without specifying exactly when the procedure took place.
