Chronic pulmonary fibrosis that was diagnosed in Crown Princess Mette-Marit The Crown Princess's health in 2018 has "evolved." This deterioration of her health will require more rest and will limit her official activities, the royal house of the Nordic country has reported this Thursday. In a statement, the royal house has explained that "the Crown Princess suffers from daily symptoms and discomforts that affect the ability to carry out her duties." It has also been highlighted that the health of the princess "varies more quickly than before," which implies that changes in her official program may arise "more frequently." However, the wife of Crown Prince Haakon wants to continue working and, to make this possible, her agenda will be reorganized "in the best possible way to combine her state of health with her activities." The statement was released shortly after the princess cancelled her participation in a concert planned in the cathedral of Trondheim, in western Norway.

The 51-year-old princess was diagnosed with a "rare" case of pulmonary fibrosis at the Kingdom Hospital in Oslo a few years ago. At the time, the royal family said that the treatment would be carried out at this medical centre, in collaboration with foreign doctors, and that, since the disease had been detected at an early stage, the prognosis was "favourable".

According to the royal family's official programme, Mette-Marit will take part in various official activities in Trondheim this weekend in connection with the World Ski Championships.
