Overview
- The Norwegian Royal Court said the crown princess will begin a one-month lung rehabilitation in Norway in early October.
- She will step back from most official engagements throughout October, with limited exceptions including the Storting dinner on 23 October, and is expected to resume in November.
- During a 23 September stop in Gol, she coughed repeatedly, apologized for being out of breath, and was supported by Crown Prince Haakon, according to NRK and local reporting.
- She made a spontaneous appearance in Hemsedal during the Buskerud tour, described as a likely final outing before the rehabilitation period.
- Mette-Marit told NRK she now needs more support to manage daily life with pulmonary fibrosis, a diagnosis she disclosed in 2018, and lung specialists say rehabilitation can improve quality of life.
