Patient undergoes a 30-day pulmonary rehabilitation program. - Patient undergoes lung rehab spanning a duration of one month.
In a recent announcement, the Norwegian Royal House confirmed that Crown Princess Mette-Marit will be undergoing a one-month lung rehabilitation program in Norway starting from the beginning of October. The treatment, which will take place at a specialised lung rehabilitation centre, is part of her ongoing battle against chronic lung fibrosis.
The announcement comes at a time when the Norwegian royal family is going through a tumultuous period, with the Crown Princess's son, Marius Borg Høiby, currently at the centre of a major scandal. Høiby has been indicted on 32 counts, with the most serious charges involving four counts of rape.
The trial against Høiby, scheduled for February 3 to March 13, 2026, with a total of 24 trial days, may cause further disruption for the royal family. However, the trial is not expected to affect Crown Prince Haakon's upcoming visit to the United States.
Crown Prince Haakon's visit to the United States, scheduled for a few weeks, is to mark the 200th anniversary of the first Norwegian immigration to America. Unfortunately, Mette-Marit's chronic lung condition has prevented her from traveling to the USA with her husband during his upcoming visit.
Mette-Marit's son's scandal adds an additional strain for Mette-Marit, who has been battling lung fibrosis for years. Despite her suspension of royal duties during the rehabilitation, she will attend the dinner for members of the Norwegian parliament at the Royal Palace on October 23.
The Crown Princess is expected to resume her full duties in November, after her one-month lung rehabilitation program in Norway. During her break from royal duties, except for a few exceptions, Mette-Marit will not be traveling with her husband during his US visit.
The public broadcaster, NRK, reported the news of Mette-Marit's lung rehabilitation and the suspension of her royal duties. Marius Borg Høiby, in response to the most serious charges, particularly the rape allegations, has denied them.
In light of these events, the Norwegian royal family continues to face challenges, yet they remain resilient in the face of adversity. The upcoming visit of Crown Prince Haakon to the United States serves as a symbol of the enduring bond between Norway and America, despite the personal trials within the royal family.
