Crown Princess Mette-Marit will be getting some extra support from family as her pulmonary fibrosis continues to worsen. On Friday, May 29, the Norwegian royal family announced that Crown Prince Haakon would be cutting his official visit to Japan short by one day due to his wife’s “health situation.” And on June 1, the future king told reporters that his daughter, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, will soon be leaving her university in Australia to be with her mother.
According to Norwegian media outlet NRK, the crown prince said in a press conference that Ingrid Alexandra “plans to come home soon, and it has to do with the family situation,” adding his daughter “wants to be with her mother.”
