Norway's Queen Mette-Marit was rushed to hospital just hours after her husband Crown Prince Haakon's coronation ceremony as the country's new king. The Norwegian monarch was left out of one of the most important moments of her husband's reign beginning due to health complications.
Mette-Marit suffers from complications related to a lung transplant she previously underwent. The health problem that forced her to seek urgent medical care prevented her from fully participating in the celebrations of the beginning of the new reign.
Crown Prince Haakon formally assumed the throne of Norway following the historic abdication of King Harald V, who reigned for more than three decades. The coronation ceremony represented a crucial moment in the transition of the Norwegian monarchy.
Queen Mette-Marit's absence from the celebrations drew attention to her delicate health condition, which has been a cause for concern in recent years. Norwegian authorities have not provided additional details on the monarch's current condition following the transfer to the hospital.
