The son of Norway’s crown princess is arrested on suspicion of rape

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been arrested again, this time on suspicion of rape, police said Tuesday.

Marius Borg Høiby is the stepson of the heir to the Norwegian throne, Crown Prince Haakon, and the son of Mette-Marit from a previous relationship. He has no royal title or official duties.

Borg Høiby was arrested late Monday in Oslo on a preliminary charge of having had “sexual intercourse with someone who is unconscious or for other reasons unable to resist the act.” A preliminary charge comes before a formal charge and allows authorities to detain suspects during an investigation.

Police did not say when the alleged rape occurred, but only that “the victim must have been unable to resist the act.” Norwegian media said Borg Høiby denied the accusation.

Hege Salomon, the lawyer for the woman who was allegedly raped, said “she is having a hard time.” She told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that police, not the woman, had brought the case. The woman was not identified.

The royal palace had no comment, the news agency NTB said.

On Aug. 4, police officers responded to a disturbance in downtown Oslo and briefly detained Borg Høiby. He faced preliminary charges of bodily harm and criminal damage and was released. Details were unclear but police said there was “a relationship between the suspect and the victim.”

More preliminary charges have since been filed against Borg Høiby, including violating several restraining orders and driving without a valid driver’s license. In all, the cases involve four women and one man.

The case was top news in Norway, where the royals are popular.

Borg Høiby, 27, lives with the royal couple and their two children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus.

Norway’s future queen made headlines in 2001 when she married Haakon because she was a single mother who had lived a freewheeling life with a companion who had been convicted on drug charges.

by Anonymousreply 34June 27, 2025 5:20 PM

His mother, the crown princess, has been actively helping him cover this all up. Because of her position, she had been given advance notice he was being investigated. So she headed over to his apartment and cleaned it. Then mother and son were seen out buying him a new mattress pad. Since he was arrested he's been partying all over Europe, surely on his mother's dime as he's never held a job.

It'll be interesting to see what the Norwegians do with the crown princess who impeded a police investigation.

Mette-Marit's father Sven Høiby was a onetime journalist, but mostly a thug/layabout who was convicted twice of felony assault. There is some undercurrent of violent acting-out that comes from Mette-Marit's own family, not just the drug-dealing baby daddy, Morten Borg. It's a weird backstory--Morten Borg (Mette-Marit's ex) was apparently close-ish to Oslo's social jetset, but he also has a criminal record (drugs), and was so broke at the time Mette-Marit hooked up with Crown Prince Haakon (when Little Marius was 2) that he wasn't able to afford child support.

by Anonymousreply 45June 28, 2025 6:45 PM

The other sad part is that Mette-Marit has a chronic and (as far as I know) incurable disease. She was diagnosed some years back with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which sometimes affects her ability to carry out public duties.

I'm sure she's got access to the best care available, and she was fairly young when diagnosed, but I don't think it's been made public how far-progressed her disease is, or what the prognosis.

by Anonymousreply 46June 28, 2025 6:47 PM

Marius Borg Høiby is in fjord-full of trouble.

by Anonymousreply 47June 28, 2025 6:58 PM

Life expectancy for Mette-Marit's ongoing condition, pulmonary fibrosis, is usually around just five years after diagnosis. She had it diagnosed seven years ago.

My guess is when she goes, Marius will be jettisoned entirely from the Norwegian royal family. But he'll probably go to jail before that happens.

Apparently the institution of royalty in Norway is really endangered. Princess Märthe-Louise, Crown Prince Haakon's elder sister, thinks she is a psychic and is married to an infamous New Age charlatan, and now the half-brother of the future queen (Haakon and Mette-Marit's daughter, Princess Ingrid Alexandra) is a multiple rapist.

Why doesn't King Olav step down and let Haakon take over? The king is 88.

Margrethe II stepped down from the danish throne at 84; Juan Carlos of Spain stepped down at 76; Albert II of Belgium stepped down at 79. Akihito of Japan did at 85.

Elizabeth II never stepped down, but she swore an oath to her people she never would and is considered an outlier.

I suspect (but do not know) that King Olav has not abdicated (despite his, and Sonja's, increasing health troubles in recent years) in order to give Haakon and his daughter, Ingrid Alexandra, more time to live a semi-normal life before ascending to the more demanding roles. And besides Ingrid, Haakon and Mette-Marit have a younger son together, Sverre Magnus, who is still only 19--young, especially if his mother is dying.

Also, it's worth noting that Harald and Sonja's' match was considered controversial in its time, because Sonja was a commoner (although her father was a well-off businessman, who owned the Karl A. Haraldsen women's clothing store in Oslo--hardly a controversial background, by modern standards). They dated for 9 years while palace staffers tried to slow-roll the romance.

Because they had gone through such travails in order to marry each other, there was a sense when their children Haakon and Martha-Louise paired up with these nutty people, that they shouldn't stand in the way of a real love match.

Poor Harald and Sonja were damned if they did, damned if they didn't.

Wow, what a bad genetic predisposition of sociopathic genes from *both* maternal grandfather and paternal father, per r45.

He's probably created enough stress for his mother to shave off a couple of years from her already curtailed life expectancy. And he probably doesn't GAF.

Maybe it was posted on this thread, but he associated with criminal motorcycle gang members who he invited onto royal property where he lived. They proceeded to rob some places of royal family belongings and heirlooms. I believe they also rode around on their bikes destroying landscaping or objects in their path, just generally creating mayhem.

Is Mette-Marit’s lung condition related to her past drug use?

by Anonymousreply 79June 29, 2025 11:22 AM

Meh. Meth.

by Anonymousreply 80June 29, 2025 11:37 AM

Her diagnosis is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. That basically means the cause is unknown which is usually the case with this disease. With that said, it is possible that smoking meth could contribute to it. This is especially true if the meth was "cut" with talc as it is known to cause scaring.

The only possible cure is a lung transplant. There was something online (I think from People Magazine) saying that her condition has significantly worsened recently requiring her to cut back on official duties. I'm sure having such a horrible son isn't helping either.
