Stockholm - Daniel Westling, fiance of Swedish Crown Princess Victoria, underwent a kidney transplant Wednesday and was recovering in hospital, the palace said. Westling's father, Olle, was the donor. Both Westling, 35, and his father are doing well, the statement issued late Wednesday said.
The operation took place as Victoria, 31, travelled to Greenland to take part in a visit to study the effects of global warming and climate change along with Danish Crown Prince Frederik and Norwegian Crown Prince Haakon.
Victoria and Westling announced their engagement earlier this year and are set to marry on June 19, 2010.
