# Norwegian royal health and succession > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/controversial-red-card-decisions-spark-debate-in-recent-football-matches > Updated: 2026-08-19T04:47:00.000Z. Sources: 259. Developments: 74. Crown Princess Mette‑Marit was discharged from Oslo’s Rikshospitalet on 14 July 2026 after a lung transplant that treated chronic pulmonary fibrosis. She remains on lifelong immunosuppressants and a six‑to‑twelve‑month supervised rehabilitation programme, with doctors monitoring for organ‑rejection and infection. On 20 July 2026 the Crown Prince turned 53 and marked the day quietly, reiterating that his wife’s recovery is “as good as can be expected” but will be a long road. He again visited the fire‑damaged area near Drammen, where more than 100 homes were destroyed, and stressed the importance of the rehabilitation schedule. Two days later Prince Haakon announced that Mette‑Marit is recovering at home, with the transplant having been performed in mid‑June by cardiothoracic surgeon Arnt Fiane. Medical officials said the operation went smoothly and that the coming weeks will focus on medication adjustments, monitoring for complications and continued rehab. On 24 July the Crown Princess missed the 15th‑anniversary Utøya memorial at Oslo Cathedral because her health still limits public engagements. The ceremony also commemorated the death of her half‑brother, police officer Trond Berntsen, who was killed during the 2011 attacks. King Harald and Queen Sonja attended the tribute while Mette‑Marit continued her rehabilitation. On 26 July the princess reflected on her 2018 diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis and thanked the donors whose organs made the transplant possible. She reiterated that, despite the ongoing rehab and the earlier cancellation of a planned visit to northern Norway near the Russian border, she remains committed to supporting the Crown Prince in his duties. The family’s other challenges persist: eldest son Marius Borg Høiby is under house arrest while appealing a four‑year sentence for sexual offences, and revelations linking the princess to the late Jeffrey Epstein add further public scrutiny. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Crown Princess Mette-Marit celebrates 53rd birthday with family portrait The Norwegian Royal House released a family portrait for Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s 53rd birthday as she continues to recover from a lung transplant and King Harald V undergoes treatment for anemia. 20 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/crown-princess-mette-marit-celebrates-53rd-birthday-after-lung-transplant ### 2026-08-02: Mette-Marit’s Health Crisis Triggers Surge in Norwegian Donations Norway’s Crown Princess Mette‑Marit’s lung‑fibrosis diagnosis and 2026 transplant spurred a wave of organ‑donor registrations and lifted the royal foundation’s 2025 donations to €1.77 million, though it posted 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mette-marits-health-crisis-triggers-surge-in-norwegian-donations ### 2026-07-26: Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway Faces Lung Fibrosis and Family Loss Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway struggles with pulmonary fibrosis, cancels a northern‑border trip, and remembers her half‑brother killed in the 2011 Oslo‑Utøya attacks after receiving a lung transplant. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/crown-princess-mette-marit-of-norway-faces-lung-fibrosis-and-family-loss ### 2026-07-24: Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit skips Utøya memorial after lung transplant Crown Princess Mette‑Marit missed the 15‑year Utøya massacre memorial as she recovers from a lung transplant after battling pulmonary fibrosis. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/norways-crown-princess-mette-marit-skips-utya-memorial-after-lung-transplant ### 2026-07-22: Crown Princess Mette-Marit Recovers After Lung Transplant Prince Haakon reports Crown Princess Mette-Marit is recovering at home after a successful lung transplant, with rehabilitation ahead. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/crown-princess-mette-marit-recovers-after-lung-transplant ### 2026-07-20: Crown Prince Haakon celebrates birthday as Princess Mette‑Marit recovers from lung transplant Crown Prince Haakon turns 53 as Princess Mette‑Marit begins post‑transplant recovery;
