The Norwegian Royal House faces one of its most complicated moments due to the personal problems of Marius Borg Høiby (27 years old), son of Princess Mette-Marit (51 years old), who has been pointed out in a scandal which has put public opinion on alert and has led the family to take drastic measures. Marius was arrested in August for alleged abuse and recently it has been transferred to a rehabilitation center in London to confront his substance addiction.
Prince Haakon (51 years old), who has assumed the role of father to Marius, interrupted his official commitments to accompany him to the British capital, an unusual move that generated speculation in Norway. Haakon and his stepson were reportedly seen boarding a commercial flight to London on November 7. The next day, Mette-Marit joined them, making it clear that, despite her health problems, her priority is support your child in this difficult process. The Norwegian magazine ‘Se og Hør’ was the first to disclose these details and has assured that the princess and her husband were seen in a shopping center with Marius, although the palace remains silent about these events, citing “private reasons.”
The princess’s health has been a constant topic of concern since, in 2018, she was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic disease that has forced her to reduce her public appearances. Still, her determination to be close to her son during his rehabilitation demonstrates the strong family bond that maintains, despite the complex situation. However, the seriousness of the accusations against Marius has led Mette-Marit to make tough decisions, such as prohibit him from residing on the family property of Skaugum, which has been interpreted as an attempt to protect the image of royalty.
Marius’ lawyer has confirmed that the young man is committed to his rehabilitationwhile Marius himself expressed weeks ago his willingness to “be responsible” for his actions, although, according to the Norwegian press, he has violated the restraining order against his ex-partner several times. This behavior has generated discomfort in Norwegian society and criticism of the favorable treatment he would have received due to his relationship with royalty.
The situation remains tense, and the media in Norway has not failed to point out the apparent contradiction between the statements of the police and the palace, which has generated a growing distrust. With a trial pending and public attention focused on the Royal House, this crisis is a test for the family, which tries to maintain unity while Marius goes through a delicate process recovery.
