    Mette-Marit’s Reputation Under Fire, and Debate Over Media Pressure in Høiby Trial

    Crown Princess Mette-Marit faces mounting international scrutiny as German media coverage of the Epstein revelations and the criminal trial of her son, Marius Borg Høiby, intensifies. A Berlin-based journalist claims her reputation in Germany is “completely destroyed,” while the rest of the Norwegian royal family continues official duties abroad, leaving the Crown Princess at Skaugum. Defence lawyer Ellen Holager Andenæs sharply criticises the armed police operation that led to Høiby’s 2024 arrest, calling it disproportionate, while prosecutors defend both the arrest and their public handling of the indictment. An opinion piece in Finansavisen argues that the extraordinary media pressure surrounding the case could justify a reduced sentence if Høiby is convicted — raising broader questions about justice, publicity and royal proximity.

    Høiby Changes Story in Oslo Rape Trial

    Marius Borg Høiby returned to the witness stand on Friday in Oslo District Court as the trial continued to focus on sharply different accounts of the same night. Both sides agree there was consensual sex earlier in the evening, but prosecutors allege that further sexual activity and filming took place after the woman had fallen asleep. Five videos recovered from his phone have become central to the case. Høiby disputes the prosecution’s interpretation, saying he did not understand that she was asleep and denying any criminal intent. Evidence about heavy intoxication and drug use at the party has also featured prominently in testimony. He has pleaded not guilty to the most serious charges and remains presumed innocent unless the court rules otherwise. The proceedings are ongoing.

    NORWAY THIS WEEK - Going Crazy, Sleep Data, and "Locker-Room Talk

    Princess Ingrid Alexandra Instagram post to 800 followers: "I'm going crazy. When is enough?" Expert: "Family undoubtedly under pressure, but lot of it self-inflicted by her mother and half-brother." Crown Princess Mette-Marit apologizes to "especially the King and Queen"—"some content of messages does not represent person I want to be." Crown Prince Haakon: "I have to make sure to take care of the Crown Princess" who's "not allowed" to speak yet, "needs time to gather herself." Deep Crown: "Ingrid Alexandra posting would simply never happen here. Mette-Marit's public apologies would also not happen. Norwegians believe transparency equals relatability. What it reveals is lack of institutional discipline." Marius trial: victim testified woke to assault—"I don't understand how someone can have sex with someone who's sleeping. It was painful. My body wasn't ready for it." Sleep researcher: pulse data "compatible with her initially being asleep, unable to resist." Witnesses describe Høiby "authoritarian," victim "wanted to sleep, but he wanted to keep having sex." Høiby: "I've been woken up by being touched myself many times." Derogatory messages about victim dismissed as "locker-room talk." Crown Prince/Princess visited prison twice in one week despite one-visit limit. Ambassador resigned—Epstein left $10M to her children. Mette-Marit googled Epstein: "didn't look too good :)." 47.6% don't want her as queen. Republican membership surge.

    Høiby Changes Story on Sex, Says ‘I Regretted It Like Hell’ in Rape Trial

    Marius Borg Høiby returned to the witness stand in Oslo District Court and shifted a key detail of his account, now saying he had sex twice — not once — with a woman who alleges she was later assaulted and filmed while asleep. Høiby denied noticing that she fell asleep and insisted he believed she would have objected to being recorded. Five hidden videos, drug use at the party and his admission that he “regretted it like hell” became central themes as prosecutors and defense presented sharply conflicting versions of the same night. The trial continues, with Høiby denying criminal responsibility for the most serious charges and presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

    Høiby Trial Hears Sauna Drama, Sleep Data and New Oslo Assault Claims

    Another intense day unfolded in Oslo District Court as the trial of Marius Borg Høiby continued, with witness testimony detailing tensions at the Lofoten after-party where prosecutors allege the most serious rape charge occurred. Guests described a shift in Høiby’s demeanor as the night progressed, with claims he became dominant, pushed alcohol, and created an uncomfortable atmosphere. A defense witness testified he heard what he believed were consensual sounds through a shared wall and was “shocked” by the charges. The court also heard expert analysis of pulse-watch sleep data from a University of Bergen researcher, who testified the biometric readings were compatible with the complainant initially being asleep and later waking. Defense counsel challenged aspects of that interpretation. In addition, prosecutors presented details of a separate alleged assault in Oslo in spring 2024, including claims that multiple videos were recorded while the woman was asleep or in a sleep-intoxicated state. Høiby denies all rape and unlawful filming charges and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a final court judgment.
