According to the press release on the Royal Palace’s website, Crown Princess Mette-Marit (51) is starting a new treatment for the chronic illness she has had since 2018. – Previous experience has shown that the medicines can lead to side effects that could have consequences for the Crown Princess’s official programme. Therefore, we find it natural to share this information in the situation we are in, Slottet writes in the press release. It has been six years since the crown princess announced that she had been diagnosed with the disease chronic pulmonary fibrosis. – I have to learn to live with uncertainty, the Crown Princess said then.

Last year, news met the crown princess, in connection with her 50th birthday. Then she described it as both painful and tough to have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. – There is much that is painful and difficult and tough about it. At the same time, there is something very nice about it, because you meet yourself a lot. One is forced to take oneself much more seriously. And then you have to slow down, which I have done a lot, she says. The illness has affected the Crown Princess’s work capacity and has meant that she has had to cancel programs at times.
