From Bonus Prince to Defendant: The Marius Borg Hoiby Trial

 

25 feb 2026

Behind the doors of a high-security royal estate, a digital house of horrors was being recorded. Investigators found a hidden app called ‘iSafe’ on Marius Borg Høiby’s devices containing videos and still photos of girls he had been in contact with. But were they filmed with or without their consent? Why did Marius smash his phone and remove the SIM card before the police arrived? Today, we’re diving into the criminal counts against Marius that prove the ‘Bonus Prince’ was living a double life.

A rape trial is rocking the royal family in Norway and raising questions over the future of the monarchy in the Scandinavian country.

The accused is 29-year-old Marius Borg Høiby. He’s the son of Norway’s Crown Princess – but outside the line of succession as he was born before his mother married into the royal family. Today in Oslo, he pleaded not guilty to the most serious of 38 counts against him – including four counts of rape. The charges also include abuse, acts of violence, transporting marijuana, and making death threats. Høiby was arrested again on Sunday on suspicion of assault, making threats with a knife and violating a restraining order.

The trial gets underway just days after revelations that Høiby’s mother, Crown Princess Mette Marit had extensive contact with the late U-S sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – after he was convicted of child sex crimes in 2008.

The latest release of the Epstein files contains hundreds of references to the crown princess – including personal emails between the two appearing to show a close personal friendship. Over the weekend, Crown Princess Mette-Marit issued an apology, saying she showed “poor judgement”.

Kroonprinses Mette-Marit van Noorwegen: Een koninklijke crisis als nooit tevoren

De Noorse koninklijke familie bevindt zich in de meest turbulente periode tot nu toe. Kroonprinses Mette-Marit, de geliefde echtgenote van kroonprins Haakon, heeft zich officieel teruggetrokken uit het openbare leven vanwege een dubbele crisis: een verslechterende, levensbedreigende ziekte en een schokkend juridisch schandaal rond haar oudste zoon.

In deze video verkennen we de hartverscheurende realiteit achter de paleismuren. Op 52-jarige leeftijd kampt Mette-Marit met een verergerende vorm van longfibrose – een zeldzame, ongeneeslijke longaandoening die in 2018 werd vastgesteld. Na een reeks gezondheidsproblemen in 2025 bevestigde het koninklijk huis onlangs de ernst van de situatie: de kroonprinses zal uiteindelijk een longtransplantatie nodig hebben.

Naast deze persoonlijke strijd staat ook het proces tegen haar oudste zoon, Marius Borg Høiby, op de agenda. De zaak, die in februari van start gaat, omvat 32 aanklachten, waaronder beschuldigingen van verkrachting. Deze “val van de troon” voor de jonge man die ooit zo geliefd was bij het Noorse publiek, heeft schokgolven door de monarchie gestuurd en de kroonprins en -prinses in een juridisch en emotioneel mijnenveld gemanoeuvreerd.

Terwijl het Noorse koningshuis zich voorbereidt op een moeilijk jaar, kijken we naar Mette-Marits reis van burgervrouw die de harten van een natie veroverde tot moeder die vecht voor haar gezondheid en de reputatie van haar familie.

Norway is facing a royal scandal. The son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, Marius Borg Hoiby, has been charged with 32 criminal offences, including four counts of rape and several acts of domestic violence.

Prosecutors say the offences span several years, and also include cases where Hoiby allegedly filmed his victims without consent. The most serious charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Norway’s royal palace says Hoiby holds no title and is not in line to the throne, stressing it will be up to the courts to decide his fate.

Ze bood vorige week haar excuses aan voor haar jarenlange vriendschap met Epstein.

Why Norway’s Monarchy May NEVER Recover

21 mrt 2026 VERENIGDE STATEN

The Norwegian monarchy is facing one of its most serious public crises in years. In this documentary, we examine the Marius Borg Høiby trial, the scrutiny around Crown Princess Mette-Marit, and the growing pressure on Norway’s royal future.

Another Enormous Royal Scandal. Norway, This Time.

18 feb 2026
 
Europe’s “golden” monarchy unravels. From Marius Borg Høiby’s explosive trial to Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s Epstein emails, Norway faces its biggest royal scandal yet. Is 2026 their annus horribilis?

She Stayed At Epsteins House -1000 Emails (Part 1)

 

2 feb 2026 VERENIGDE STATEN


The Norwegian royal family may be facing one of its biggest controversies in decades.

New reporting says newly released Epstein related files and email records mention Crown Princess Mette Marit around 1,000 times between 2011 and 2014. The messages described in those reports raise serious questions about judgment, access, and what the palace knew.

What Norwegian outlets have reported
She reportedly searched Jeffrey Epstein in 2011, saw he had a prior conviction, and still remained in contact
Reports describe messages using words like “darling” and “charming” and including the phrase “You tickle my brain”
The Norwegian Royal Court has confirmed she stayed at a Palm Beach property connected to Epstein, while stating he was not present
Reports say she asked for parenting advice about her teenage son
The timeline described in the reporting appears to conflict with what was said publicly in 2019 about when and why contact ended

Separately, Norwegian and international media report that her son Marius Borg Høiby faces trial starting February 3, 2026, involving multiple serious charges, including sexual assault charges, assault, and drug related offences.

This video is presented for news reporting and documentary purposes. Allegations remain allegations unless proven in court. All parties are presumed innocent until proven guilty. I will update this description if any official information changes.

De Epstein-files en hypocrisie met Beatrice de Graaf | De Ongelooflijke Podcast #289

 
 
 
 
De onthullingen in de Epstein-files roepen de vraag op: hadden complotdenkers dan toch gelijk? Wordt deze wereld geregeerd door een perverse en verdorven elite? Of misschien beter gezegd: een hypocriete elite? Mensen die hoge idealen prediken, maar ondertussen dubieuze dingen doen op een privé-eiland, elkaar bevoordelen… of, hier in Nederland op kleinere schaal, politici die liegen over hun cv. De maskers vallen af – zo klinkt het – wie kan je nog vertrouwen? Hoe word je niet cynisch? En kan hypocrisie ook iets goeds zijn? Belangrijke vragen, zeker nu het nieuwe kabinet aantreedt. We bespreken het met historicus Beatrice de Graaf.
