Overtaken by the scandals that plunged the Norwegian Royal House into a serious reputational crisis, the country’s population and press reacted by demanding responsibilities and statements from the royals. At the open front of the young fractious Marius Borgaccused of assaulting one of his ex-partners in addition to other illegalities for which he is being investigated, the implication of the Princess Mette-Marit in the case of his son, by notifying him that he was going to be arrested, erasing possible incriminating evidence along the way, and the bringing to light of the alleged sexual abuse committed by the shaman of Martha Louise of Norway.
Although the Crown has not commented on the latest events, the case of Marius Borg, still shaken by new information that highlights the consequences public of his criminal acts, he would already be heading towards his transformation, not judicially but in the face of public opinion. To reassure the population concerned about the present and future of the Royal House, King Harald He spoke for the first time about the events of the Princess’s son in a public speech with which he demonstrated that he was not indifferent to the events and the need to remedy them.
It was, however, the Prince Haakon who spoke most recently before the media about his stepson’s scandals and maintained that his role in solving the facts depended directly on the work of the police. «There is a police case and then we have to try to do our job at the same time. I think there are many opinions about it, which is natural. At the same time, we have to try to do our job and then the police can investigate,” the monarch wanted to make clear about who seemed to not want to let go. In the last few hours it has been learned that in reality the Prince would show concern for the young man and would even have become his support in the situation he faces.
Travel to change
When Marius Borg issued a statement through his lawyer explaining the traumatic event in the Oslo apartment for which he admitted his guilt in the violent attack on another young woman, Mette-Marit’s son confessed that his behavior was influenced by the addictive use of harmful substances and that at the time of the altercation he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Thus, and in the middle of the investigation process against him, Borg He publicly promised that he would seek the help necessary to overcome his problem. «I have struggled with substance abuse for a long time, something I have been in treatment for in the past. Now I will resume this treatment and take it very seriously,” he said a few months ago.
Reluctant since then to take his word seriously, perhaps because of the following episodes in his case that would come to light, Marius couldn’t wait to face his problem until his stepfather became one of his great supporters. It was not unknown that the relationship between Borg and Haakon is good, but it was not known that it even reached the point that the Prince makes the decision to cancel all the commitments on his agenda to help his stepson. In the last few hours, the cancellation of all Haakon’s official appointments for “private reasons” as alleged by the Royal Family was surprising, but the Norwegian press was quick to resolve the mystery.
Supposedly, the future King of Norway would have traveled to London with Marius Borg to accompany him as he entered a rehabilitation center to overcome his addictions. According to the Norwegian media ‘Se og Hør’, the Prince was seen on a commercial plane bound for the British country in the company of the young man, a trip that the King also joined. This fact would thus comply with what was indicated by Borg’s lawyer, who assured that he planned to begin his recovery treatment soon.
For the Casa Real expert, Caroline Vaglethis decision is good news because it shows that the young man truly wants to change and get away from scandals. «If it turns out that Marius is on his way to rehabilitation, that is very good. Both he and the lawyer have been open that he needs help, and so nothing is better than that happening now. If the reason turns out to be that he follows the extra child to rehabilitation, I think that is a valid reason for the absence,” thus approving the step that the Crown has taken.
