Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s son Marius Borg Hoiby breaks silence after arrest

Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 50, postponed her attendance at the Paris 2024 Olympics, to be with her son at her official residence, Skaugum, in Asker, just outside of Oslo. She later joined her husband, Crown Prince Haakon, at the athletics and handball events.

Before his wife joined him in Paris, Haakon called the incident a “serious matter” in a brief comment to the media, before adding: “In our family, as in all families, it is sometimes important to be there. This time it was me who went while she stayed at home.”
Marius is the firstborn son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from her relationship with convicted felon Morten Borg. He was raised by his mother and stepfather, Haakon, following their marriage in 2001.

Marius does not have a public role and is not in the line of succession to the Norwegian throne.
