Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has admitted to charges of violence and vandalism under the influence of alcohol and cocaine.

The incident, which took place in a Frogner apartment, involved physical assault on a woman and damage to property.

Høiby has publicly apologized to the victim and his family, acknowledging his struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues.

The case has sparked significant media attention and raised questions about the influence of Høiby's social circle, which includes individuals with criminal backgrounds.

The Norwegian royal family has remained largely silent, though Crown Princess Mette-Marit has reportedly spoken with the victim.

Høiby is expected to provide a formal statement to the police next week.
