The Norwegian royal, 51, has been diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis
Crown Princess Mette Marit of Norway has started treatment for pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic lung condition that causes the lung tissue to become damaged.
The Norwegian Royal House confirmed on Friday that the Crown Princess, 51, will start her treatment immediately.
“Previous experience has shown that the medicines can lead to side effects that can have consequences for the Crown Princess’s official programme,” the Royal House said (translated to English).
“Therefore, we find it natural to share this information this time. We will inform you about changes to the official program if necessary.”
