The future queen of Norway’s health has become progressively worse in recent months, and on Friday, June 5, the Royal House of Norway announced Crown Princess Mette-Marit has officially been placed on the waiting list for a lung transplant. Her daughter, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, will be leaving the University of Sydney and studying closer to home as her mother fights pulmonary fibrosis, but Mette-Marit’s oldest son, Marius Borg Høiby, is currently in prison as he awaits the verdict of his high-profile rape case.
Høiby, 29, was born to Crown Princess Mette-Marit before she met her husband, Crown Prince Haakon, and he does not hold a royal title or carry out any official duties. When speaking to a judge about his mother on June 8, he stated, “Every Sunday when we meet in prison, I know that it could be the last time I see her,” per Nine.com.
