Marius Borg Høiby, the 29-year-old son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, is scheduled to go on trial this week on charges including r*pe, acts of violence against ex-romantic partners, and making threats of lethal harm.
He will face the Oslo District Court starting February 3, with proceedings expected to last until mid-March.
Høiby was indicted in August 2025 after repeated arrests in 2024. The development placed the Norwegian royal family under scrutiny, with people demanding strict punishment for the alleged offender.
