“They have not learned”. The Norwegian press is blunt with the attitude that Princes Haakon and Mette-Marit are having with the Marius Borg scandal. The princess’s son – from a previous relationship to the prince’s – has been arrested again after once again breaking the restraining order. Borg, according to local media reports, contacted the victim again and was brought to justice. And it is not the first time in recent weeks.

As has been reported in the country, Borg has been arrested a total of four times since he committed the criminal acts. It should be remembered that the princess’s own son admitted having physically and verbally attacked his ex-partner one night in a hotel. Borg appeared before the media and apologized for what he had done, both to his ex-partner and to the Royal Family. Although he is not part of it, his actions have obvious consequences on the Crown.

However, despite this pardon, Marius Borg has subsequently been arrested on several occasions. All for breaking the restraining order imposed by the court. Mette-Marit’s son would have tried to contact his ex-partner by phone repeatedly.

The new arrests of Marius Borg

“According to the police, the 27-year-old was arrested in September: several Norwegian media outlets unanimously reported that this was due to a violation of the contact ban. The Norwegian police confirmed the arrest on September 14, but did not provide further details,” they explain from the German media ‘Bunte’. Borg would have tried to contact the victim

According to ‘Se og Hor’, the police would have deployed an emergency device to arrest Mette-Marit’s son due to the seriousness of the case. Not only would he have tried to contact the victim but he would have violated other judicial provisions. However, the young man’s defense does not agree with this measure, which they consider excessive. “Borg was arrested because he allegedly contacted the victim once via a hidden phone number on Saturday, September 7, despite the court order. Høiby denies this and pleads not guilty,” his lawyer told ‘ VG’.

“In my 17 years as a criminal defense attorney, I have never experienced or heard of an arrest with such a poor factual and legal basis.” The truth is that this is not the first time he has violated this order. Marius Borg has already been arrested several times since August for the same case. Trying to contact the victim by telephone despite the prohibition against him. A new scandal that shakes the Norwegian Crown.

Haakon and Mette-Marit, on a tightrope

There have already been several episodes starring Mette-Marit’s son in recent months. Since the assault on his ex-partner came to light, more information has become known about it. Both regarding Marius himself and his relationship with his mother and her partner. Between Haakon and the princess’s son it has never been easy. The heir welcomed him as another son but he has not been up to the task.

In fact, the Norwegian press covered the damage that Marius Borg had caused in the official residence of the princes. It was ‘Se og Hor’ who revealed that the princes had chosen to have the princess’s son in the palace to keep him under control. A mission that has not worked. Marius Borg has continued his personal decline, reaching heights he had never reached before.

The popularity of the crown princes is increasingly questioned. A recent survey published by the Norwegian media stated that the population continues to prefer Harald as monarch despite his advanced age and delicate physical condition. Marius Borg’s handling of the scandal has taken its toll on both his mother and the crown prince.

The last gesture of Mette-Marit that has further committed her rise to the throne

Little has been understood about the complicity of Princess Mette-Marit with her son Marius. Although at first the heir’s wife opted for silence and to remain firm in the face of the aggression committed by her son, this has been changing. The Norwegian press revealed that the princess had taken steps to approach the victim and had had a conversation with her.

The princess took action and took her son’s side despite the seriousness of the events. She was even caught going shopping with Marius. Images that generated deep discomfort among citizens. The Crown tries to stay out of what happened. A scandal that is on the front page of Norwegian newspapers and that could have important consequences.
