Marius Borg Høiby, the 29-year-old son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, learned his fate after an Oslo District Court found him guilty of multiple serious offenses involving illegal substances and violence against women.
The verdict followed a seven-week trial, during which police presented disturbing self-recorded digital footage allegedly recovered from Høiby’s electronic devices that documented incidents spanning from 2018 to 2024.
The case has deeply affected the Norwegian monarchy, drawing intense public scrutiny over privilege, accountability, and the royal family’s reputation amid one of the country’s most shocking scandals.
