Marius Borg Høiby: Son of Princess Mette-Marit Involved in Legal Drama
Oslo, Norway – Problems have arisen for Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, wife of the heir to the throne, Haakon. The 27-year-old was detained following an “incident in an apartment” in Oslo.
According to the newspaper Se og Hør, Marius spent thirty hours in custody before being released. Reports suggest he allegedly assaulted a woman in her twenties both physically and psychologically, who was hospitalized with a concussion and discharged on Monday.
Marius has been cut off from communication and is currently residing at Skaugum, the royal family’s summer residence. The incident casts a shadow over the Norwegian royal family, which traditionally avoids scandals.
