The Norwegian royal family experienced a tumultuous 2024, to say the least. At one point, Princess Märtha Louise marrying a Hollywood shaman with a controversial past seemed like the most dramatic thing that could happen. However, a member of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit's family faced multiple serious legal accusations. Now it's been reported that Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, is accused of sexually assaulting a model and TV presenter—and the incident allegedly happened while the royal family slept upstairs.
Borg Høiby—who was born to Mette-Marit before she met the future king—was arrested three times between August and November 2024 for a string of incidents including assault and suspicion of rape. Norwegian media outlet Se og hor reported that new details have emerged during the future queen's son's investigation, and Linni Meister, 39, has been identified as another victim.
