    Marius Borg Høiby Denies Drugging Accuser as “Rape” Searches Hit Court, While King Charles Gets Heckled Over Andrew

    The Marius Borg Høiby trial got uglier fast. Prosecutors pressed the Crown Princess’s son on whether he drugged a woman ahead of an alleged 2018 assault. Høiby flatly denied it, admitted he knows about drugs like ketamine and could probably obtain them, then tried to brush off eyebrow-raising phone searches including “rape,” telling the court he’d looked up “a lot of weird stuff.” Back in Britain, King Charles was heckled on a walkabout with shouts demanding to know whether he “pressurised the police” to investigate Andrew. The King stayed silent as police removed the heckler and security shifted the route. Plus: Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision drops on Prime Video, Andrew’s move to Sandringham sparks protests and leaflets, Jon Stewart says nobody ever gets held accountable “except Prince Andrew,” and the latest headlines keep circling the York mess.
