Queen Sonja announced that Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway has successfully undergone a lung transplant. The announcement was made during an art exhibition opening in Kristiansand, where the Queen is showcasing 77 artworks. Queen Sonja described the operation as “absolutely fantastic” and expressed her joy at the positive outcome. The Crown Princess was placed on the transplant waiting list earlier this year due to a serious deterioration in her health. The surgery was performed this week at Oslo University Hospital. Further details regarding the Crown Princess’s condition and recovery have not yet been released, but the news has been met with widespread relief and well wishes.
