Mette-Marit speaks of chronic lung disease
Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit suffers from pulmonary fibrosis. She suffered for several years of complaints, said Mette-Marit on state television NRK. Now she was relieved to know the cause.
The Norwegian princess has been struggling with health problems for some time. She was now looking for the public and talking openly about her illness. It is not curable, but can be slowed down when it is diagnosed early.
eIt was a well planned move to the public. In the evening news "Dagsrevyen", the Norwegian Crown Princess, Mette-Marit, explains to the whole country: "I have chronic pulmonary fibrosis." Almost simultaneously, the country's leading online media publishes its own stories with many details provided by Mette-Marit's doctor.
Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit do not seek the public for no reason. Due to illness, the popular princess will have to withdraw. "It's never nice to talk publicly about one's own health," said Mette-Marit to NRK state broadcaster. But she wanted to prevent speculation.
Aged 45, he has long had health problems. Now also pulmonary fibrosis. The disease causes scar tissue to form in the lungs. As a result, the body stiffens, oxygen consumption increases and patients suffer from shortness of breath and irritable coughing. Pulmonary fibrosis is not curable, but progress can be slowed if diagnosed early.
The disease is slow in Mette-Marit, said his doctor Kristian Bjøro from Oslo Rikshospitalet. This is an unusual form, which is not due to external influences. At present, there are many indications of an autoimmune disease.
Marius' mother, 21, Ingrid Alexandra, 14, and Sverre Magnus, 12, is one of the most popular royal family members among aristocratic friends, although Duke Kate and Duchess Meghan in the United Kingdom United and Crown Princess Victoria in the neighboring state of Sweden are fighting for this. But the reconnaissance had to fight Mette-Marit first. The commoner of the coastal town of Kristiansand, in southern Norway, was not considered at first to be a perfect princess. No real training, a sumptuous party life, drugs, a son born of an illegitimate relationship – even tolerant Norwegians had to get used to it.

However, Mette-Marits' life was not always free of worries. The relationship with his father was also tense. He has repeatedly caused scandals. Before his death in 2007, however, the two reconciled. Another shot of fate hits Mette-Marit 2011: during the terrorist attack on Utøya Island, his half-brother was also killed.
The following year, victims of the fear of the Princess plane had to leave with her husband Haakon for their planned flight to Oslo after a motor damage on the emergency toboggan. In recent months, she has suffered from disc problems, dizziness, and the growing interest of the tabloids for their eldest son, Marius Borg Høiby, and his relationship with a young model woman.
The now diagnosed disease sees the 45-year-old woman as a challenge: she aims to work as much as possible and looks forward to it. "But it is clear that there will be times when I will not be as fit as I would like." Crown Prince Haakon is also considering the future, also because the disease was discovered in time: "The prognosis is positive" He said in the NRK interview. "We have good days ahead of us."
