Crown Prince Haakon Undergoes Lung Transplant Following Wife’s Condition
Oslo – Crown Prince Haakon of Norway underwent a lung transplant earlier this month following a significant decline in his wife, Princess Mette-Marit’s, health. Princess Mette-Marit was diagnosed with a lung scarring disease in 2018, and her condition has progressively worsened over the past six months. Medical professionals determined that a new lung transplant was becoming increasingly necessary.
Earlier this month, doctors informed Princess Mette-Marit that she was being placed on the waiting list for a lung transplant, a procedure typically considered when a patient’s prognosis is assessed to be less than two years without new lungs. Following the successful surgery, Crown Prince Haakon is currently hospitalized as part of standard post-operative care. He is expected to remain in the hospital for several additional weeks.
The palace has stated that he will adjust his public schedule to prioritize time with his wife during her recovery. The news comes as a relief following concerns about Princess Mette-Marit’s health. Updates on her condition will be provided as they become available.
