The father to Princess Mette- Marit passed away today














The father to Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Sven O. Høiby passed away on Wednesday, aged 70.

He had been ill for some time, having been diagnosed with lung cancer in the autumn of last year.

The crown princess had a turbulent relationship with her father after she married Crown Prince Haakon, but there were clear signs of reconciliation in recent times.

After the 2001 wedding father and daughter had largely only met at major events in the crown couple's family life.
