  • King Haakon VIII took Mette-Marit to Oslo’s Rikshospitalet hours after he took a constitutional oath in parliament.

Norway’s King Haakon VIII took his wife, Mette-Marit, to Oslo’s Rikshospitalet just hours after appearing in parliament for an historic constitutional oath.

The queen did not attend the ceremony because of complications that developed after a lung transplant. Her absence gave the royal day a worried turn, followed by the evening hospital visit.

The royal household has not confirmed whether the hospital visit was directly connected to the complications. The circumstances surrounding Mette-Marit’s condition therefore remain unclear.
