Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway has been discharged from Oslo Central Hospital after a lung transplant. This was reported on July 14 by the German agency DPA, citing a message from the Norwegian royal house.

The operation took place in mid-June. The representative of the hospital, Are Holm, noted that over the next six months the patient will undergo physical rehabilitation under the supervision of doctors, and with a favorable development of events, stabilization of the condition is expected in about a year.
