Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit has been named repeatedly in recently released documents connected to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Her name appears over a thousand times in the latest batch of files made public. At the same time, her son, Marius Borg Høiby, is preparing to face trial on 38 criminal charges, including rape.
Over the weekend, Høiby was arrested again on suspicion of threats, assault, and violating a restraining order, according to police reports. His trial is scheduled to begin on Tuesday.
**Why this matters**
The simultaneous emergence of Epstein-related documents involving a member of Norway’s royal family and the serious criminal charges against her son has drawn significant public and media attention. The developments raise questions about the royal family’s privacy and the potential impact on their public image amid ongoing legal proceedings.
