Marius Borg Høiby, the 27-year-old son of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, has been charged with four counts of rape by the Oslo police district. The charges stem from incidents that occurred between July 2023 and June 2024, involving one woman. Høiby has been in custody since August 12, and his lawyer, Vibeke Aronsen, has confirmed that he denies the allegations.
The princess’s family has been cooperative with the police investigation, and Høiby is expected to appear in court on August 28 for a custody hearing. The case is currently under investigation, and the police are working to gather evidence and determine the facts surrounding the allegations.
As the case unfolds, Høiby’s family and representatives are likely to face scrutiny given his royal connections. Princess Märtha Louise, who married writer Ari Behn in 2002 and divorced in 2017, has three daughters with him but Høiby is her son from a previous relationship. The investigation will aim to establish the truth behind the allegations, and the court will ultimately decide the outcome based on the evidence presented.
