The Norwegian royal family is under intense scrutiny as Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit face the press during their county tour in Trøndelag.

This marks their first public appearance since the high-profile wedding of Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett, which reignited debates over the princess's title.

Meanwhile, Marius Borg Høiby, the Crown Princess's son, is embroiled in legal troubles, facing charges of bodily harm, threats, and vandalism.

The royal couple is expected to address these issues, with Crown Prince Haakon previously acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations.

Despite the controversies, the couple aims to focus on their official duties, highlighting local culture and future opportunities during their tour.
