Royal Family Faces Security Concerns Amid Scandal

Published: 2024-12-08

The Norwegian royal family is grappling with a significant scandal involving Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

Høiby, who has been charged with multiple offenses including violence and threats, poses a potential security risk due to his associations with criminal networks.

His financial instability, compounded by loans from friends with criminal ties, further exacerbates the situation.

Crown Prince Haakon has publicly addressed the issue, expressing concern for the victims and emphasizing the family's efforts to support Høiby's rehabilitation.

Meanwhile, Crown Princess Mette-Marit has remained silent, drawing public criticism.

The royal family's security measures are under scrutiny as they navigate this complex and sensitive situation.
