Norway’s crown prince couple have been sparing with comments regarding the criminal suspicions against Princess Mette-Marit’s son Marius.
But in the program “The Year with the Royal Family”, which was published by Norwegian NRK on Christmas Day, Crown Princess Mette-Marit admits that it has been a demanding year.
– It’s been rock-hard, you can’t say anything else. It has been really tough for all of us, I think, she says.
Marius Borg Høiby is Mette-Marit’s son from a previous relationship. He has caused major headlines since he was arrested in August on suspicion of assaulting a woman with whom he had a relationship. Subsequently, the 27-year-old has been accused of several more cases of violence in a close relationship, as well as a series of other crimes.
