Marius Borg Høiby is back in Norway
Marius Borg Høiby spent his 28th birthday at home. Princess Mette-Marit’s son is back in Norway. Good news awaited him there.
It was quiet for a long time about Marius Borg Høiby, who went into hiding abroad at the end of November after a week in custody. The son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit is said to have undergone therapy in London. Last Sunday he was spotted again in Norway, as local media reported. The 28-year-old landed at Oslo airport and is said to have been the last to get off a plane. Photos show him wearing a dark cap and black hood pushing a luggage cart at the airport.
The reason for his return is unknown. However, Borg Høiby celebrated his 28th birthday on Monday, which is quite possibly why he wanted to return home. Among other things, several women have accused him of violence. The serious scandal for the Norwegian royal family was triggered last summer by a complaint of bodily harm and damage to property by his then partner.

In addition to the ad, photos of a devastated room also testified to a conflict. At that time, Borg Høiby admitted the allegations and spoke of psychological difficulties and drug problems for which he now wanted to get help. Crown Prince Haakon called the police investigation a “serious matter.” In the meantime, rumors were circulating that the Crown Prince’s stepson had stopped his withdrawal in England after a short time, but his lawyer denied this. However, it is not known whether the treatment has now been completed.

In Norway, however, good news awaited Marius Borg Høiby: an injunction that had been imposed to protect an alleged victim is now no longer in force. Police said the charge is rape without sexual intercourse. The alleged victim reported through a lawyer that she had not wanted an injunction against Borg Høiby from the start.
Before there can be a trial against him, the public prosecutor must file charges. As Norwegian media report, the police expect to complete the investigation in the first half of 2025. A process would then not take place until summer at the earliest, but it is also possible that the whole thing could drag on until autumn 2025. He faces several years in prison.
