La reina Mette-Marit ha vuelto al hospital tras un trasplante de pulmón.

Norwegian Queen Mette-Marit has been readmitted to hospital following complications after her lung transplant, according to reports. King Haakon accompanied his wife to the Rikshospitalet in Oslo, where she is currently receiving medical care. The queen was unable to attend yesterday’s swearing-in ceremony for King Haakon under Norway’s constitution due to health issues related to her recent surgery. The queen underwent a lung transplant this year, but since then, she has faced multiple complications. Her condition deteriorated suddenly following the ceremony, prompting her immediate hospitalization. Medical professionals have emphasized that the period immediately after a lung transplant is particularly delicate. Patients must consistently take immunosuppressive drugs to reduce the risk of organ rejection, although these medications also increase susceptibility to infections. King Haakon took the oath of office yesterday, a ceremony that his wife, Queen Mette-Marit, had to miss due to health reasons. The event was especially significant for their daughter, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, who swore allegiance in writing. Mette-Marit's health had worsened in recent months due to stress linked to her son and Jeffrey Epstein, leading to her being placed on the waiting list for new lungs. She received the organ exceptionally quickly, which raised speculation that she might have bypassed the usual queue. Medical experts highlight that the initial period outside the hospital poses a high risk for patients who have received a new organ. According to Swedish doctor Jesper Magnusson, medical director for lung transplants at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, acute rejection reactions are common during the first year. For Queen Mette-Marit, regular and precisely timed intake of immunosuppressive medication is crucial, though this therapy significantly increases infection risks because the immune system is weakened. “The goal is for patients to live better lives than before the illness. However, life will never be exactly the same as it was before,” he stated. Complications arose for Queen Mette-Marit in recent days, prompting King Haakon to take her to the hospital after the swearing-in ceremony. Questions remain about whether the stress following the death of beloved King Harald played a role. Her pulmonologist, Are Holm, noted that complications after lung transplants are not uncommon. The queen experienced several complications, including today’s, requiring her to stay under observation all day. Haakon and Mette-Marit left the hospital building together in the evening after she spent approximately four hours there. At the same hospital, 54-year-old Princess Märtha Louise was observed recently. Her husband, 51-year-old Durek Verrett, had undergone a kidney transplant shortly before. Princess Märtha Louise was accompanied by her daughter, 23-year-old Maud Angelica Behn, during her visit. This highlights the ongoing presence of royal family members seeking medical attention at the facility, underscoring the importance of the hospital in providing specialized care for high-profile patients.
