Marius Borg Høiby, the 29-year-old son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, reportedly broke down in tears in court on Wednesday, February 4, during an ongoing trial involving several horrific allegations against him.
Høiby was indicted in August 2025 after multiple arrests in 2024 and is currently facing 38 charges involving some of the gravest alleged offenses against women, including former romantic partners.
The trial, scheduled to run until March 19, 2026, has deeply affected the Norwegian monarchy, as public support for the institution has reportedly dipped significantly amid the scandal.
