Mette-Marit Faces a New Scandal and the Norwegian Royal House Can't Do Anything

At the end of March, the Norwegian Royal House revealed that Mette-Marit had to further reduce her official commitments due to her diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. However, in recent weeks, the criticism hasn't stopped. The controversy has erupted due to several private trips that seem to contradict the limitations imposed by her illness.

Last month, the Royal House reported that the crown princess would have to reduce her schedule. All of this due to her pulmonary fibrosis. However, she has enjoyed private vacations in the company of Prince Haakon, which has cast doubt on the severity of her condition.

The Contradiction of Private Trips: Criticism Toward the Princess

While Princess Mette-Marit was canceling official commitments due to her illness, she was seen enjoying private vacations in Syracuse, Sicily. This destination is several hours of flight from Oslo, which caused more suspicions about her health condition.

The princess's behavior, traveling to places like Italy and Germany without participating in public events, has caused criticism. Although the Royal House hasn't clarified if these trips were approved by her doctors, many wonder if Mette-Marit's illness is as limiting as it was said. The princess has kept an active social life but has limited her participation in official events, increasing doubts about her illness.

Private Vacations in Italy: An Escape or a Contradiction?

Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit were recently seen in Sicily, enjoying a break away from official duties. At the same time, Kings Harald and Sonia were spending Easter at their cabin in Sikkilsdalen, fulfilling their institutional commitments. The difference between the activities of the royal family members has caused more questions about Mette-Marit's health.

Images of Prince Haakon relaxed on a terrace in Italy, far from the responsibilities of the Crown, have been interpreted by some as a disregard for his official duties. Meanwhile, the Norwegian Royal House keeps silent about the situation, which only increases public speculation.

An Increasingly Difficult Situation for the Norwegian Royal Family

This new scandal has put the Norwegian royal family in a delicate position. The discrepancy between the private life and official commitments of Mette-Marit has become a topic of public debate. The decisions made by the royal couple not only affect their image but also that of the institution they lead.

The handling of the situation by the Royal House has caused criticism about the lack of transparency. As rumors increase, the royal family faces the difficult task of keeping their image. In addition to fulfilling their obligations amid growing public unrest.
