Overview
- The Norwegian Royal House announced on Tuesday that Crown Princess Mette‑Marit has been discharged from Rikshospitalet in Oslo and returned to the family home at Skaugum, with her condition described as “good, given the circumstances.”
- In a personal statement released by the palace she thanked organ donors and the medical team, calling the transplant a life‑saving gift and expressing gratitude for public support during her illness.
- Rikshospitalet’s pneumology chief said the princess will undergo an intensive rehabilitation program and close monitoring for at least six months, noting that full stabilization after a lung transplant often takes about a year.
- Crown Prince Haakon, who gave a brief health update during a visit to the World Cup in Miami earlier in the week, said her recovery is improving and that he will continue official duties while arranging time to be with her.
- The palace update arrived the same day Oslo district court allowed Marius Borg Høiby to leave detention under electronic monitoring with house arrest at Skaugum, and media reported his father Morten Borg visited the royal residence.
