Norway's royal family is facing a crisis as Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, is set to stand trial on multiple criminal charges, including rape. The allegations against Høiby, who is not part of the royal household, span from 2018 to 2024 and include accusations of violent and threatening behavior towards former partners. The case has drawn significant media attention and has been further complicated by the release of new Jeffrey Epstein documents, which include hundreds of references to Crown Princess Mette-Marit and reveal that she stayed at one of Epstein's properties in 2013. Mette-Marit has expressed regret over her association with Epstein, acknowledging that she failed to adequately examine his background at the time.
