# Norwegian Royal silver wedding anniversary > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/norwegian-royal-silver-wedding-anniversary > Updated: 2026-08-23T17:36:51.000Z. Sources: 43. Developments: 3. Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway are marking their 25th wedding anniversary on August 25, 2026. The couple, who married in 2001, has navigated various personal and public challenges, including scrutiny regarding the Princess’s background and her past communications with Jeffrey Epstein, a connection she has expressed regret for in televised interviews. The Princess has also faced significant health struggles due to pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable lung disease. Following a lung transplant this summer, the couple has decided to forgo a large public celebration for their silver jubilee, opting instead to celebrate privately with family. To commemorate the milestone, the Norwegian Royal House released a new, intimate portrait of the couple at their residence, Skaugum, describing the occasion as a celebration of ‘25 years of love, family, and a life together.’ In addition to the new portrait, the palace released nostalgic photos from the couple’s honeymoon in the United States. In addition to the Princess’s recovery, the Norwegian monarchy is facing further health concerns as King Harald V is currently receiving treatment at Rikshospitalet in Oslo for a bacterial blood infection. During the King’s illness, Crown Prince Haakon has been acting as regent. The royal family has also faced recent pressures involving legal issues related to the Princess’s son, Marius Borg Høiby. As the anniversary approaches, the Crown Prince and Princess have spent time visiting King Harald V at the hospital. The royal family has emphasized a theme of unity and togetherness as they navigate these concurrent personal and health-related crises. ## Claims - Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary in August 2026.
