On August 25, the Norwegian crown princely couple, Mette-Marit and Haakon, marks the 25th anniversary of their wedding. A large celebration was originally planned, but current circumstances have forced the couple to cancel it.

According to reports, King Harald's health condition is tense, adding to the family's burden. Haakon recently visited his father in the hospital, where the king is being treated due to a deterioration in his health.

The decision to forgo a celebration comes at a particularly challenging time for Mette-Marit, as she is also facing health issues. The cancellation of the event reflects the concerning situation within the royal family.

Despite the difficult circumstances, the relationship between Mette-Marit and Haakon is perceived as stronger than ever. Over the past 25 years, they have faced both public scandals and personal challenges that have not harmed their bond.
