Court calendar: Norway's Mette-Marit until summer without official dates

Norway's Queen Mette-Marit (53) will not attend any official appointments for almost a year after her lung transplant in the summer. The wife of King Haakon VIII is “in rehabilitation and will not have an official program until next summer,” the royal family announced in the afternoon.

The palace published the upcoming dates at the end of the court mourning after the death of King Harald V. No major official trips or state visits are planned in autumn and winter. It was said that the changes that accompanied the change of throne took time.

According to the information, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra (22) will continue to prioritize her studies despite her new role at court and will return to Australia in February. Haakon and Mette-Marit's daughter has been enrolled at the University of Sydney for over a year. She is currently completing an exchange semester at the University of Oslo.
