Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been arrested for assault and vandalism, raising questions about the royal family's involvement.

The arrest followed a warning from his mother, who was informed by the royal court after police notification.

However, Oslo police clarified they did not directly inform the court.

This unusual pre-arrest notification has sparked debate, as it is not standard practice to alert suspects beforehand.

Additionally, Høiby faces charges of domestic abuse against two ex-girlfriends, which he denies, though he admitted to violence against a third woman.

The royal family's handling of the situation has been criticized for lack of transparency, with calls for Crown Princess Mette-Marit to be questioned about her knowledge of the incidents.
