"King Haakon will be back to work on October 9. His mother, Queen Sonja, will also recommence her public duties.

However, Queen Mette-Marit won’t be taking on any engagements. She had a lung transplant in June and will continue to recuperate at home. She won’t start public duties until at least the summer of next year.

Meanwhile, the new heir to the throne, Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra, will soon be leaving Norway. She is set to recommence her studies in Sydney, Australia in February, having moved her university course briefly to Oslo when her mother, Queen Mette-Marit, went into hospital.

The second in line to the throne, 20 year old Prince Sverre Magnus, is studying in Lisbon.

It means that King Haakon will be handling most of the royal agenda by himself or with the help of his 89 year old mother."
There will no State Visits for the for the foreseeable future."

So that leaves Haakon and his mother, who is not in the best of health, with a heart condition, to take over. Ingrid Alexandra was in Oslo and settled at University, I realize she may prefer going back to Australia, but this leaves a dicey situation. Not my decisions, but it's what the family decided.
