For the first time since her lung transplant, a photo of Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been released. The Norwegian royal family shared images of the Crown Prince couple on Instagram this Monday morning, captivated by the television during the match between Norway and Brazil.
This moment serves as a significant signal of her recovery, as many in Norway awaited news of the Crown Princess’s health. Monday morning saw the Norwegian royalty post several images on Instagram, showcasing the couple engrossed in the World Cup match.
In the heartwarming image, a radiant Mette-Marit is seen alongside Crown Prince Haakon, both sporting fan scarves as they enjoy the victorious game from their sofa at the Oslo Royal Palace. The couple’s joyful expressions reflected the excitement of Norway’s victory over Brazil, accompanied by small Norwegian flags on the windowsill.
Joy Outside the Palace
The jubilation among Norwegians extended beyond the palace walls. Looking out of their window, Mette-Marit and Haakon could see throngs of people celebrating on the palace square after the victory. According to Norwegian broadcaster NRK, Crown Prince Haakon even joined the enthusiastic crowd later that evening, engaging in the celebration.
While the Crown Princess and her husband watched the game from home, other royal family members were closer to the action. King Harald and Queen Sonja viewed the match from Mågerø, a Norwegian Atlantic island, while their children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus, cheered from the stadium in the United States.
Recovery Status
While the released images bring joy to fans and the public, they do not mean that Mette-Marit has been discharged from the hospital. The royal court has emphasized the importance of this distinction. “As we have already communicated, we will inform the public once the Crown Princess is discharged from the hospital. At this point, that has not happened,” clarified Liv Anette Luane, communications advisor to the Norwegian royal house.
The royal family’s decision to share these images comes as a comforting gesture to the public, signifying that Mette-Marit is slowly reintegrating into public life—albeit from the comfort of her sofa for now. The released photographs depict not only a moment of family unity but also the broader spirit of Norwegian pride and resilience.
In summary, while Crown Princess Mette-Marit continues her recovery, her presence during such a monumental national event has provided hope and joy to the Norwegian people.
