The future Queen of Norway is putting her studies on hold and rushing home from Australia as her mom battles a worsening illness.<\/p>\n

Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 22, is returning to Norway from the University of Sydney to be by the side of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, whose chronic lung disease has recently deteriorated, according to Norwegian broadcaster NRK.<\/p>\n

\u201cIngrid Alexandra plans to come home soon. It has to do with the family situation. She wants to be with her mother,\u201d Crown Prince Haakon said during an official visit to Japan, the outlet reported Monday.<\/p>\n

The princess is in the middle of a three-year degree in international relations and political economy. While she is expected to eventually return to Australia, Haakon said it is unclear how long she will remain at home.<\/p>\n

The decision comes as Mette-Marit, 52, continues her battle with chronic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease she was diagnosed with in 2018.<\/p>\n

Last week, Haakon revealed the seriousness of her condition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Crown Princess is seriously ill, and I think she has gotten a bit worse lately,\u201d he said, according to NRK. \u201cSo I am worried about her health.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese six months have gone pretty well, I think. But there are different phases. So we just have to try to solve it as best we can,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Norwegian royal palace announced in March that Mette-Marit\u2019s health had \u201cdeteriorated.\u201d Just days ago, officials also cut short Haakon\u2019s trip to Japan because of her \u201chealth situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mette-Marit has recently been seen at public events wearing a nasal cannula, an oxygen tube that helps with her breathing.<\/p>\n

Asked whether she could eventually need a lung transplant, Haakon said, \u201cIt\u2019s a medical question. So they\u2019re the ones who decide when it should happen, when it\u2019s right. But I think she\u2019s gotten a lot worse lately, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Princess Ingrid Alexandra, the eldest child of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit, is Norway\u2019s future queen. She is second in line to the throne behind her father and is expected to one day become the country\u2019s monarch.<\/p>\n

The health crisis has hit multiple generations of the royal family.<\/p>\n

Haakon\u2019s mom, Queen Sonja, 88, was hospitalized with atrial fibrillation and heart failure on May 27. <\/p>\n

The palace said she would take a week off royal duties to rest and adjust her medication. She received a pacemaker in January 2025.<\/p>\n

King Harald, 89, has also faced a string of health setbacks in recent years, including leg surgery, multiple COVID-19 infections and pacemaker surgery in 2024. <\/p>\n

In February, he was hospitalized in Tenerife with an infection and dehydration while on vacation.<\/p>\n

The family\u2019s latest troubles come just days after a Sydney court issued a two-year restraining order against a man accused of stalking Princess Ingrid Alexandra.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

David James Cook, 63, was banned from contacting the princess or any member of the Norwegian royal family after allegedly sending a letter to her residence at St Andrew\u2019s College, 9News reported. <\/p>\n

Security intercepted the correspondence before it reached her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI sent her a card just asking for friendship, that\u2019s all,\u201d Cook told reporters outside court. \u201cI did not intentionally upset her in any way and I wouldn\u2019t do so. She\u2019s a nice person. I bumped into her at an event and I followed up with the card.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hours later, Cook was charged with allegedly assaulting a photographer. <\/p>\n

Police said the photographer suffered minor injuries. Cook was released from custody and is due back in court July 17.<\/p>\n
