Emergency Release Granted for Marius Borg Amid Royal Family Health Crisis
Oslo’s district court granted emergency release from pretrial detention for Marius Borg Høiby to support his mother, Crown Princess Mette-Marit's worsening health and lung transplant wait; prosecutors immediately appealed, so he remains jailed pending a Court of Appeal decision. His trial, which includes about 40 charges (including four rape counts) and began in February 2026, is set to conclude with a verdict due June 15, amid a royal-crisis backdrop and declining public support for the monarchy.
