Norway’s royal palace shared the first images of the country’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit on Monday since she underwent a lung transplant in June.
The palace posted an image to social media of the crown princess sitting on a couch next to her husband Crown Prince Haakon watching Norway defeat Brazil, taking the country to its first-ever World Cup quarter-final.
“Yesterday turned into a historic evening!” the Royal House of Norway said in a post to Instagram.
It added that the crown princess and crown prince had followed the game from the palace.
