Scandal Engulfs Norwegian Royal Family

Published: 2024-08-25

The Norwegian royal family is under intense scrutiny from international tabloids, with Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, at the center of the controversy.

Described as the "tattooed black sheep" of the family, Høiby has been the subject of relentless media coverage following revelations of his past drug use.

In 2017, Høiby was caught using cocaine at the Palmesus music festival, an incident that has resurfaced amid recent allegations of violence and substance abuse.

The tabloids have not held back in their criticism, painting a grim picture of the royal family.

Despite the negative press, the story has captivated readers across Europe, with major publications in Germany, the UK, and Sweden covering the scandal extensively.

The Norwegian palace has remained silent on the matter, offering no comments on the allegations against Høiby.
