Crown Princess Mette-Marit's stepson sentenced to four years in prison for rape
Oslo District Court has sentenced Marius Borg Høiby to four years in prison. He is the stepson of Crown Princess Mette-Marit. The sentence was handed down on 15 June 2026. The court found him guilty in two cases of rape. In two other similar cases, he was acquitted.
Høiby grew up in the royal family. However, he holds no official membership or title. His proximity to the throne made the case one of the biggest scandals in recent times for the Norwegian royal house.
The case has attracted considerable attention in Norway. It is not only about the verdict in court. It is also about life in the shadow of the palace, about privileges and boundaries that proved easy to cross.
