Norway’s Crown Princess cancels official appointment

Norway’s Mette-Marit had to leave an event unplanned after a few minutes. For health reasons according to Mahal.

The latest post shared by the Norwegian royal family on the official Instagram account shows Princess Mette-Marit in her most recent royal appointment on Friday. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary celebrations, she visited the Stella Women’s Center in Oslo as a patron of the Red Cross.

In three shots, which you can see by clicking on the arrow to the right of the image, the 49-year-old can be seen presenting a birthday cake and talking to volunteers and participants using the centre’s services. Mette-Marit smiles in all the photos. At that time, his health was anything but good.

According to Norwegian news agency NTB, Crown Prince Haakon’s wife left the event after just 15 minutes. “Unfortunately, the Crown Princess had to cancel the trip earlier than planned,” the palace confirmed a little later in the post. The official statement on Instagram said this was because of “unexpected side effects of the medication she is taking for her pulmonary fibrosis.”
