Crown Princess Mette-Marit's life-saving transplant
Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, 52, undergoes successful lung transplant for 'life-threatening' condition the Norwegian palace has announced. The royal remains hospitalised at Rikshospitalet, where she will stay for the next few weeks.
"So far, the lung transplant has been a success," said Arna Tiane, head of Thoracic Surgery at Rikshospitalet.
In recent weeks, Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been pictured wearing oxygen and loyal fans have been concerned about her health. We wish the Princess a speedy recovery.
Good morning, royal watchers
I'm back from my day at Royal Ascot yesterday, where I adored seeing the royals in real life, including newlywed Harriet Phillips who looked unreal in pastel blue. Zara Tindall's pink dress stole the show for me though! I also loved capturing the best hats of the day.
It is day two of Ascot, and we are eagerly awaiting Prince William and Lady Sarah Chatto, who will be presenting trophies in the winner's circle later on this afternoon.
Meanwhile, Japanese royals, including Princess Ariane and Princess Amalia, head to the Netherlands for a four-day state visit.
