Son of Norway’s crown princess to go on trial on rape and other charges

The eldest son of Norway’s crown princess will go on trial Tuesday on multiple charges including rape in a high-profile case that has been an embarrassment to the royal family.

Marius Borg Høiby is facing the Oslo district court after being indicted in August following a lengthy investigation.

The indictment includes 38 counts, among them rape, abuse in a close relationship against one former partner, acts of violence against another and transporting 7.7 pounds of marijuana.

Other charges include making death threats and traffic violations.

Prosecutors have said the 29-year-old could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted at the trial, which is expected to last until mid-March.

Høiby is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship and stepson of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon.

He has no royal title or official duties. He has been under scrutiny since he was repeatedly arrested in 2024 on various allegations of wrongdoing. He has remained free pending trial.

The indictment centers on four alleged rapes between 2018 and November 2024; alleged violence and threats against a former partner between the summer of 2022 and the fall of 2023; and two alleged acts of violence against a subsequent partner, along with violations of a restraining order.

None of the Scandinavian or low country monarchs, nor the King of Spain, get to wear a crown. That’s why I turned down the throne of Sweden

I have been reading bios of Founders the past month (Franklin, Adams) and honestly it’s hard to believe that in 2026 there is still such a a thing as “royalty.” Why do we still prop up these ridiculous clowns?

This kid has a long history of bad behavior. It finally caught up with him. Similar to Nick Reiner, he never was really held to account for his actions until he did something extreme.

This guy?

“In one email, Mette-Marit asked Epstein if it was “inappropriate for a mother to suggest two naked women carrying a surfboard for my 15 yr old son’s wallpaper”.

He reminds me of Littleface in Dick Tracy.

He likely got the idea that rape was okay by watching Sweden, France, and Germany.

The NYP left out the part about his mum having an Epstein problem.

Go figure.

“Høiby is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship...”


“Relationship”, not marriage. Yet the family acknowledges him in their Christmas photo. Unlike, say, one of the Biden’s granddaughters.

He certainly looks “privileged”. One of those people who thinks the world revolves around him.

He looks like Prince Joffrey Baratheon from the Game of Thrones.

Perhaps he can become an energy-industry consultant for Ukraine, or maybe an artist.

I’ve seen it work in other cases.
