Marius Borg at the Centre of Controversial Video Mocking His Assault

Marius Borg Høiby, son of Mette-Marit of Norway, has once again made headlines following the release of a shocking video in which he mocks the assault on his ex-girlfriend. The 27-year-old, who has been arrested three times since August and is currently in preventive custody for a recent rape charge, responds to a question about how his relationship ended. In the footage, he is seen energetically striking towards the camera, implying that everything ended with an assault. These mockeries have been poorly received by the Norwegian public.

The scandals involving the heir's son are taking a toll on his mother and her husband, Prince Haakon, who has always stood by his family. He even accompanied his stepson to a rehabilitation clinic in London. The situation is so complicated that the only solution for the Norwegian Crown might be the divorce of its heir.

Even the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate Middleton, are "shocked and saddened" by the case, as reported by 'Bild.de', citing palace sources. British friends of Princes Haakon and Mette-Marit, including Princess Anne's daughter and her husband, Zara and Mike Tindall, are dismayed by the difficult time they are facing, with no signs of improvement in the near future.
