Norway's Crown Princess's Son Suspected of Causing Harm and Damage

– Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, is under investigation by Oslo police for alleged bodily harm and criminal damage. The 27-year-old, who is the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon, was briefly detained following a disturbance in downtown Oslo on Sunday. Although he has no royal title or official duties, the incident has drawn significant media attention in Norway. Police confirmed that Borg Høiby faces preliminary charges, which are one step short of formal charges, and he has since been released. While specific details of the incident remain unclear, authorities noted that there is a connection between Borg Høiby and the victim involved. Fortunately, police reported that there is currently no indication that the victim sustained serious injuries. The situation has prompted Crown Princess Mette-Marit to postpone a planned trip to the Olympic Games in Paris, while Crown Prince Haakon continues with his travel to the event. The reasons for her postponement have not been disclosed. In Paris, Haakon acknowledged the seriousness of the police involvement but refrained from discussing the specifics of the case. Marius Borg Høiby resides with the royal family, which includes his half-siblings, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus. The royal family's popularity in Norway has made this incident a focal point of public interest, particularly given Mette-Marit's unconventional background as a single mother prior to her marriage to Haakon in 2001.
