Crown Princess Mette-Marit was seen arriving at the National Hospital in Oslo on Thursday, according to multiple Norwegian news agencies. In photos published by the tabloid VG<\/a>, she was seen arriving alongside both her husband, Crown Prince Haakon, and her daughter, Princess Ingrid Alexandra. Their daughter had announced earlier in the week<\/a> her intent to fly back from college in Australia to be with her mother as Mette-Marit\u2019s health continues to decline. The Crown Prince also cut short an official trip to Japan. The reason for the Corwn Princess\u2019s hospital visit has not yet been disclosed.<\/p>\n

The hospitalization comes as the Norwegian royal family continues to navigate a time period. Queen Sonja, 88, was herself admitted to the National Hospital<\/a> in late May with heart fibrillation and heart failure before being discharged. She made her first public appearance since that hospitalization today, attending a visit to the Trondheim Art Museum. \u201cOf course, we don’t think it\u2019s anything positive,\u201d the Queen told reporters about Mette-Marit today, per broadcaster NRK<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a great shame. We can only hope that everything goes well.\u201d<\/p>\n

It echoes similar comments that her husband, King Harald, made about their daughter-in-law last week<\/a>. \u201cShe is seriously ill. There is no doubt about that, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mette Marit was diagnosed with chronic pulmonary fibrosis in 2018<\/a> and has been seen using supplemental oxygen<\/a> at recent public appearances. Last winter, the Royal Palace said doctors had begun preparing for a potential lung transplant evaluation<\/a>. \u201cThe Crown Princess is seriously ill, and I think she has gotten a bit worse lately,\u201d Haakon told the press in May<\/a>. \u201cSo I am worried about her health. She uses oxygen in her everyday life, and that helps a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

NRK also reported on Thursday that Crown Prince Haakon and his son, Prince Sverre Magnus, had been considering attending the World Cup in the United States this month. King Harald had announced the roster<\/a> himself in a special video. But Haakon has since indicated that the decision would depend on Mette-Marit\u2019s condition. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to look into it a bit, because there’s a balance between the Crown Princess\u2019s illness and whether we can travel,\u201d he said this week. \u201cThen we\u2019ll come back to that question. But it\u2019s certain that we’ll be watching the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n
