Marius Borg Høiby (born 13 January 1997)[1] is the son of Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway and the stepson of Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway. Høiby is not part of the Norwegian royal family and does not serve a public role.[2][3][4]
Høiby was charged in August 2025 with 32 criminal counts, including rape and domestic violence.[5][6] The Høiby case, together with controversies surrounding the King's son-in-law Durek Verrett, has been cited as contributing to a decline in the Norwegian royal family's reputation and increased debate about the future of the monarchy in Norway.
Early life
Høiby was born on 13 January 1997 at Aker University Hospital in Oslo,[7] to Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby, then a waitress, and Morten Borg, a convicted felon.[8] His parents were never in a relationship, and only had a brief encounter.[9] At the time she became pregnant with Marius, Mette-Marit was still in a relationship with John Ognby, a convicted felon 15 years her senior who was unemployed and on welfare, and with whom she had lived for the past two years in a social housing apartment provided by welfare services in the working-class neighborhood of Lillestrøm. Their relationship ended after she became pregnant with Marius, when Ognby chased Mette-Marit down the street with a knife.[10][11][12]
At the time of Høiby's birth, his father Morten Borg was in prison for drug-related violent crimes, and the two did not meet until Høiby moved to Oslo with his mother. Høiby had resided in a lower working class environment outside Oslo where several of her acquaintances and family members, including her child's father, had served time in prison.[9] Having a controversial past,[13] Mette-Marit was known in this criminal milieu by the nickname "Sørlandsporten," due to being from Sørlandet and being considered a "party girl" who had a series of relationships with men in Oslo's drug scene.[14] After her son was born, she relocated to her childhood home of Kristiansand, where Marius Høiby was raised by his mother and her then-partner, a local disc jockey, until the couple split in early 1999.[9] Later that same year, she met Crown Prince Haakon and in 2000 they moved to Oslo to live with him.

The fact that Mette-Marit was a single mother and the fact that Høiby's father was a convicted felon created controversy. TV 2 later wrote that "Merely by existing, Marius Borg Høiby was seen by many as a scandal for the royal family."[9] Jo Moen Bredeveien of Dagsavisen wrote that "in a documentary on TV2, the king's sister (Princess Ragnhild, Mrs. Lorentzen) comes across as almost uncomfortably prophetic. She expressed concern about how things would turn out for Marius, now that the Crown Princess was pregnant with Ingrid Alexandra, the nation's future queen: 'I feel terribly sorry for her son. When they have a child, poor Marius will be nothing. He is six years old, but he will understand that there is a difference. That will cause problems for them. I hope they have thought it through,' the princess said."[15]
When his mother entered the public spotlight as the girlfriend of Haakon, Høiby was nicknamed "Little Marius" by the media, and the name stuck. The name was also used by Queen Sonja, who said that "Little Marius is just the world's cutest little bright guy, who is so charming and wonderful, so it's definitely not a problem for me, at least."[9] The nickname comes from a character in the 1883 novel Poison, who – like Høiby – is illegitimate and a perceived outsider.[16]
Sven O. Høiby frequently spoke publicly about Høiby during his childhood, expressing that he believed his grandson should be given the title of Prince to avoid feeling second-class and becoming a target of bullying.[9]
Education and career
Høiby graduated from high school in 2016. The following year, he began to study business in the United States,[17] but dropped out after a few months without completing a degree. In late 2017, Høiby moved back to Norway briefly before working as an intern for designer Philipp Plein.[18] He then worked as a style editor for the UK-based fashion magazine Tempus until its closure in December 2018. Høiby moved back to Norway in 2019, residing in Tønsberg with then-partner Juliane Snekkestad.[19] After the couple split in 2022, Høiby moved to one of the houses at Skaugum, the official residence of the Crown Prince and Princess.[20][21] Sociologist Trond Blindheim said: "He hasn’t had a job or education, but has traveled around as a kind of playboy".[22]
Personal life
Since 2016, Høiby has been in a series of high-profile relationships. Between 2016 and 2017, he was in a relationship with wealthy heir Linn Helena Nilsen.[18][23] From 2018 to 2022, Høiby was in a relationship with model and actress Juliane Snekkestad, whom he had met while working in Los Angeles.[24][25] He also briefly dated influencer Nora Haukland after his relationship with Snekkestad ended, before the couple split in 2023.[26]
Despite the absence of any formal roles or titles, Høiby has attended several royal events as a guest, including official state visits, dinners and Constitution Day celebrations.[27]
In 2025, police interrogation of Høiby revealed that the crown prince "together with the crown princess" took care of his bills. Høiby gets 20,000 kroner each month. The media have also raised questions over the financing of the rest of his lifestyle.[28][29]
Høiby has invited criminal friends to the royal property Skaugum, including members of the Hells Angels criminal gang, to what he called "Skaugum festivals", where drugs were consumed. At these festivals Mette-Marit personally received Marius' criminal friends.[30][31][32] Høiby is also charged with raping women at Skaugum.[33] Jan Bøhler wrote that "a member of the royal family has for years vacationed and partied with central figures in drug-related crime. Individuals known for involvement in serious money laundering cases and violent gangs, including the Hells Angels, have also participated in the festivities. These enemies of society have been allowed to roam freely on the Crown Prince couple's properties during events referred to as 'Skaugum festivals'."[34]
As of December 2024, Høiby had started in a program of drug rehabilitation.[35][36]
Legal issues
Høiby was convicted of drug possession in 2017 at the Palmesus festival at Bystranda in Kristiansand. He was fined 4000 Norwegian kroner for this incident.[37]
Alleged domestic violence and rapes
In September 2024, Høiby was charged with domestic violence.[38][39]
On 18 November 2024, Høiby was arrested on suspicion of rape.[40] In November 2024, he was held in remand at Hamar Prison,[41][42] and he was held incommunicado.[43][44] He was released on 27 November 2024.[45]
On 19 November, it was announced that Høiby was also charged with one count of "abuse in close relationships," violating a restraining order, and driving without a valid driver's license.[44][46][44][36]
On 25 November, it became known that Høiby was under investigation for raping another woman after having been released following his initial arrest and questioning by the police.[47][48]
As of June 2025, Høiby was no longer charged in regard to violence against another named woman, within about a four-year period.[49] The charges said that he pulled her hair, pushed her, and hit her.[50] She was once a girlfriend of Høiby.[51][52][53]
Following police charges on 27 June 2025, Høiby's alleged victims include:
- The "woman in Frogner" [or the woman that was living in the Frogner neighbourhood of Oslo]. Two instances of violence against her were reported, according to the charges. She is a former girlfriend of Høiby, and his last one, according to the media in September 2024.[51][54] On 13 September 2024, police arrested Høiby. He was released the next day.[55][39][56][57] The arrest was in regard to allegedly contacting her by phone, in violation of a restraining order.[38][58][59] Høiby has not admitted culpability [to the justice system].[60] Earlier in 2024, Høiby was arrested for violence against her, according to the charges.[38][61] A blood test was taken (while arrested); the test results were consistent with those of someone that had recently been using "cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis".[62] The following day, recordings via telephone were released by the media, in which Høiby can be heard making multiple references to slapping her previously.[63] On 23 August he was charged with making threats against her.[64][60]
- Violence against a named woman at a date that has not been made public. She was once a girlfriend of Høiby.[51]
- Sexual assault (or rape)[46] of a woman that was unable to resist. There was no intercourse, according to the police. The court closed its doors to journalists, when the court system decided that Høiby can be detained by police until 27 November. The alleged victim has not pressed charges.[65][66] Earlier, Høiby was arrested on 18 November.[67][40] Earlier (8 November), investigation started after police found video clips on Høiby's mobile phone.[47] The incident allegedly happened on Palm Sunday, in an apartment where the alleged victim was registered as living; she does not know the other alleged victims.[68] The woman is in her 20s.[47]
- Another charge of rape is in regard to a woman in her 20s.[47] There was no intercourse, according to the police.[69] She was allegedly raped on 26 September, at Skaugum.[47]
- In regard to another rape charge; Høiby has been charged with rape that involved intercourse; The prosecutor claims that the alleged victim fell asleep, some time after voluntary intercourse had started.[70]
- In addition, one person has allegedly received a death threat from Høiby, according to the police.[51][71]
On 18 August 2025, state attorney Sturla Henriksbø presented the indictment against Høiby. He was charged with 32 different offenses, including the rapes of four different women, as well as abuse in intimate relationships against his former partner Nora Haukland. He was also charged with several acts of violence against another former partner.[72]
As of August 2025, Høiby was scheduled to face trial in January 2026.[73]
The media claims (as of November 2024) that Høiby and his family have received preferential treatment from police.[62] Mette-Marit has been accused of warning her son about his impending arrest and of evidence tampering and witness tampering.[74][75]
The Høiby case has been described in Norwegian media as one of the most extensive rape investigations in recent years.[76][77][78][79][80][81] The Høiby case, together with controversies surrounding the King's son-in-law Durek Verrett, has been cited as contributing to a decline in the Norwegian royal family's reputation and increased debate about the future of the monarchy in Norway[82][83][84][85]
Other controversies
In 2018, Høiby was referred to as a "Prince of Norway" in Tempus Magazine, where he briefly worked as an editor, which again led to criticism from several Norwegian media outlets, until the references were removed from print and the magazine's website.[86][87] Several outlets also criticized Høiby's repeated misuse of a false princely title, leading some outlets to refer to him as "the pseudo prince".[88]
As of 2025, he does not have a diplomatic passport. During the previous year, the media said that he had abused a diplomatic passport,[89] a type of passport meant to be used by individuals on official missions representing Norway, even though he is not a diplomat and does not hold any public role. The media reported that he had "abused" the passport multiple times, including to evade the police abroad, even while under the influence of drugs.[90]
