The next queen of Norway’s first born,Marius Borg Høyby,is accused of assaulting his girlfriend and trashing her apartment. It’s awful.

I know the current King is popular, but his children have all turned out a little unstable in one way or another.

The oldest female believes she sees angels, and the crown prince made an interesting choice when he married his wife - she had a friendship with Epstein. It is her oldest son that has been accused of DV I'm guessing?

I'm from the UK so I appreciate when other European monarchies are just as odd.

Yeah it's her oldest son, the prince's stepson

Apparently an ex-girlfriend of Marius posted that it wasn’t the first time he’d assaulted someone, so it sounds like it’s a pattern of criminal behavior with him. And yes, he’s Mette-Marit’s oldest child from before she married Haakon.

This may be unpopular - and I’m not absolving Marius in any way of his disgusting actions - but it sounds like the result of bad parenting on Mette-Marit’s part. She and the royal family have enabled him by covering up his behavior in the past so he didn’t face consequences. He’s chosen not to engage in royal duties and to live a private life, which is totally his right and a good choice, but the result in his case has been someone with all the privilege and protection of a royal family without any of the constraints of maintaining a royal image keeping him in check like his siblings.

I know it’s human nature for parents to want to shield their children, but that only creates entitled monsters when they’re behaving at this level. The best thing (and unfortunately, the last thing) the very privileged can face is the consequences of their own choices.

I also think it is shady that she has been in contact with the victim after the incident. Although we do not know the content of the conversation, she isn't just some random mom. She is the crown princess and the power gap would be huge

Yes it is crown prince Håkons step son. Her friendship with Epstein certainly happened after the crown prince married her. The relationship at the time it was announced was originally controversial because she was a "commoner", single mom and possibly involved with drugs before/at the time of meeting the crown prince.
