Marius Borg Høiby, 29, appears in Oslo district court Tuesday facing 38 criminal charges, including raping four women and assaulting a former partner. The Crown Princess’s son admitted to violent acts following an August 2024 arrest, confessing he destroyed a chandelier and mirror. Facing over 10 years in prison, Høiby stands trial without royal support as Crown Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit shun the seven-week proceeding to distance the monarchy from the scandal.
