In the photo, which was published on the royal house's Instagram, the Crown Princess and Crown Prince Haakon are sitting on a sofa in the palace wearing football scarves. According to the court, the Crown Prince couple followed Sunday night's World Cup match - where Norway roared and knocked out Brazil - with excitement.

Mette-Marit was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis in 2018 and her health has deteriorated since then. On June 5, it was announced that she had been put on the list of people waiting for a lung transplant.

On June 17, the court announced that the procedure had been successfully performed. The Crown Princess has not been seen in public since then.
