Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette‑Marit, is at the centre of one of Norway's most closely watched criminal trials in recent years. At 29, Høiby faces roughly 40 charges, including rape, sexual assault, domestic violence and breaches of restraining orders, drawing significant national and international attention. The trial has reignited debate about privilege, accountability and the scrutiny faced by those connected to the royal family.
