Crown Prince Haakon Reacts to Son’s Arrest
Norwegian Crown Prince Haakon has publicly commented for the first time on the arrest of his stepson, Marius Borg Høiby. The incident occurred last weekend when Marius allegedly assaulted a woman in an apartment in Oslo.
Haakon, who was in Paris for the Olympic Games, described the matter as “serious” but declined to comment further, citing respect for the ongoing investigation. His wife, Crown Princess Mette-Marit, stayed home in light of the incident.
The lawyer for Marius confirmed the assault charge and emphasized the importance of respecting his client’s privacy and allowing the legal process to run its course.
