Norwegian royal succession and Queen Mette-Marit health

Overview

Following the death of King Harald V on August 31, Haakon VIII ascended to the Norwegian throne.

Queen Mette-Marit was unable to attend the King's inauguration due to medical complications. The Queen had undergone a lung transplant in July to treat chronic pulmonary fibrosis and required hospitalization for several hours following the King's passing. Due to her ongoing recovery and the necessity for medical supervision, her participation in official duties remains limited.
