Happy 50th birthday to Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway!

Born on 19 August 1973, Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby became Crown Princess of Norway in 2001 upon her marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne.

In the late 1990s, Mette-Marit met Crown Prince Haakon at a garden party during the Quart music Festival. At the time of their engagement, she was a single mother to a son named Marius Borg Høiby, born 13 January 1997 from a brief relationship with Morten Borg.

The couple married on 25 August 2001 at the Oslo Cathedral. Upon her marriage, she acquired the title, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Norway. The couple has two children together: Princess Ingrid Alexandra (19), and Prince Sverre Magnus (17).

In October 2018, she was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, which limits her official engagements.
