Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, is currently on trial facing multiple serious charges, including rape and assault. The trial has attracted significant media attention, particularly in light of connections to high-profile figures like Jeffrey Epstein. During the proceedings, Høiby has appeared emotional, denying the allegations that involve videos taken without consent. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and admitted to personal excesses, such as drug and alcohol use. The trial, perceived as a potential scandal for the Norwegian royal family, puts them under an unwelcome spotlight as they navigate these allegations amidst ongoing scrutiny.
