About this listen

 From Caloroga Shark Media comes Crown and Controversy Norway - The Trial of Marius Borg Høiby

Crown and Controversy shifts its focus to Norway as a major criminal trial places the country’s royal family under intense public scrutiny.

This series follows the legal proceedings against Marius Borg Høiby, the adult son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who is facing dozens of criminal charges in Oslo District Court. Although Høiby is not a member of the Norwegian Royal House and holds no royal title, the case has drawn widespread attention because of his close personal connection to the heir to the throne and the seriousness of the allegations.

Across this series, we track developments in the courtroom, explain the charges and legal process, and examine how Norway’s monarchy has responded as the trial unfolds. We also explore the broader implications for the royal family, including public confidence, institutional boundaries, and how constitutional monarchies navigate criminal cases involving individuals closely linked to the Crown.

  • New Indictment Dropped Mid-Trial! Høiby Admits Restraining Order Breach as Court Widens Case

    New Indictment Dropped Mid-Trial! Høiby Admits Restraining Order Breach as Court Widens Case
    Mar 4 2026
    Dramatic developments in Oslo District Court as prosecutor Sturla Henriksbø announces a new additional indictment against Marius Borg Høiby — alleging reckless conduct and breach of a restraining order involving the so-called Frogner woman just days before trial began.
    According to the indictment, Høiby is accused of calling her an “unfaithful whore,” breaking his phone, grabbing her as she tried to leave, and later sitting beside her with a knife while threatening to harm himself. He acknowledges criminal responsibility for the reckless conduct and restraining order breach. His defence says: “He has always acknowledged that. There is nothing new here.”

    We also cover testimony from Nora Haukland’s sister, her PR adviser describing “lovebombing” and manipulation, text messages including “You have to choose. Me or Farmen,” and a witness who said at Oslo Scene, “There was no doubt that he went for a chokehold.”

    Plus: a former inmate finally testifies, a close friend defends Høiby’s character, and prosecutors seek a 400,000 kroner fine against NRK for violating court photo restrictions.

    The proceedings have formally widened. Wednesday will bring the formal reading of the new indictment and the expected testimony of the Frogner woman.

  • Friend Describes Fear, Marius Borg Høiby Court Hears “You Were Violent Today” in Text Messages

    Friend Describes Fear, Marius Borg Høiby Court Hears “You Were Violent Today” in Text Messages
    Mar 3 2026
    uesday’s proceedings in the trial of Marius Borg Høiby shifted from live witnesses to the documentary core of the case.

    A close friend of Nora Haukland told the court she “quickly got a feeling that something was not right,” describing an incident where he was “very angry” and an alleged chokehold that left her “very scared.”Neighbours testified about a night of intense noise — “Shit is going down next door” — and said they later saw visible injuries

    .The afternoon was dominated by hundreds of text messages, moving from “You are my dream woman” to “You were violent today,” along with a personal note titled “Things I want to change about myself,” in which he wrote, “My first goal is to stop all lying completely” and “When I take cocaine I feel invincible. I am not.”We break down the testimony, the SMS evidence, and what it could mean as the evidentiary phase continues.

    New accuser in Høiby trial , tampering fears and a message trail that won’t quit
    Mar 2 2026

    The Høiby trial barrels into its most explosive stretch as a new complainant prepares to testify and her lawyer raises concerns about possible witness influence behind the scenes. Prosecutors continue their marathon reading of private messages they say reveal a cycle of tension and reconciliation, while the court scrambles to stay on schedule. With Høiby set to return to the stand and a psychiatric report looming, this week could redefine the case.
