Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, is facing trial in Oslo on multiple charges, including rape and violent behavior towards former partners, with alleged incidents spanning from 2018 to 2024. The trial, expected to last into mid-March, could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years if he is convicted. Høiby denies the allegations. Simultaneously, newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents have brought renewed scrutiny to Crown Princess Mette-Marit's past contact with Epstein, including a stay at his Palm Beach property in 2013. The documents contain hundreds of references to the princess, who has expressed regret for her association with Epstein and sympathy for his victims, calling it an embarrassing lapse in judgment. The case and the Epstein connection have drawn significant media attention to the Norwegian royal family.
