Norway's Royal Circle Keeps Marius Borg Høiby Close After Harald V's Death

King Harald V's death reshuffles Norway's monarchy, but Marius Borg Høiby remains an integral, unofficial member of the royal family—attending public duties and even the coffin procession—despite a four-year prison sentence for rape and related charges; he has no royal title or line of succession, but the family has long treated him as part of their inner circle, a bond that predates the scandal and persists as he serves house arrest during appeals.

Verdict Looms as Crown Princess’s Son Faces Rape Trial in Oslo

Norway awaits the Oslo District Court verdict in Marius Borg Høiby’s high-profile rape trial, where prosecutors seek seven years and seven months for four rapes among 40 charges, while his defense requests about 18 months. The 29-year-old Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s son will appear by video link due to health reasons after the trial’s end, and he has been in custody since February. The case also involves drugs and traffic offences, with witnesses allowed to remain anonymous. The broader royal-s family saga is complicated by the Crown Princess’s serious illness and lung-transplant listing, and the verdict is seen as a pivotal moment for the monarchy amid intense public scrutiny.
