Earlier this week, Princess Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, was arrested on rape allegations. Though his mother is married to Crown Prince Haakon, Høiby is not a member of the Norwegian royal family. Still, he was raised alongside his step-siblings, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus.

Crown Prince Haakon of Norway is speaking about the arrest of his stepson, Marius Borg Hoiby, on suspicion of rape.

The 27-year-old son of Norway’s crown princess has been accused of a second rape just days after he was arrested on suspicion of the same offense.

The son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit was arrested for allegedly raping a woman in Oslo — his third arrest in a matter of months, according to police.

Marius Borg Hoiby, the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, was arrested on Monday. His lawyer denied the accusation and said his client was cooperating with the authorities.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway's son will be held in prison for up to a week while police investigate allegations of rape made against him, an Olso court ruled on Wednesday night. Marius Borg Hoiby, 27, was arrested on Monday night on suspicion of rape, marking the third time he has been arrested since August.

The eldest son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit is suspected of a second rape, police said Wednesday, two days after his arrest over another allegation of sexual assault.
