Marius Borg Høiby (born 13 January 1997)[1] is a relative of the Norwegian royal family. He is the son of Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway from her previous brief encounter[a] with convicted felon Morten Borg before she married Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway. Høiby is not a royal himself.[2][3] He received a lot of media attention as the first step-child in the history of the Norwegian royal family and was widely nicknamed "Little Marius" after a somewhat tragic literary character. He is a commoner and the royal family has stated that "He shall not have a public role and is not a public figure."[4] However, he sometimes participated in family events in the royal family.[5] On 18 November 2024, Høiby was arrested on suspicion of rape and is facing trial.[6] Since 20 November 2024, Høiby is a remand prisoner at Oslo Prison.[7]

Biography

[edit]

Høiby was born on 13 January 1997 at Aker University Hospital in Oslo,[8] to Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby, then a waitress, and Morten Borg, a convicted felon.[9] His grandfather Sven O. Høiby was also a convicted felon.[10] His parents were never in a relationship, and only had a brief encounter[5] after they were introduced by John Ognby, Høiby's former cohabitant and fiancé, who was also a convicted felon.[11][12] For two years Mette-Marit was in a relationship with Ognby, a man on welfare who was 15 years her senior, until shortly before Marius' birth. They shared a social housing apartment provided by welfare services in a working-class neighborhood in Lillestrøm, until a breakup occurred after Ognby chased Mette-Marit down the street with a knife around the time she became pregnant with Marius.[13]

At the time of Høiby's birth, his father Morten Borg was in prison for drug-related violent crimes, and the two did not meet until Høiby moved to Oslo with his mother. Høiby had resided in a lower working class environment outside Oslo where several of her acquaintances and family members, including her child's father, had served time in prison.[5] After her son was born, she relocated to her childhood home of Kristiansand, where Marius Høiby was raised by his mother and her then-partner, a local disk jockey, until the couple split in early 1999.[5] Later that same year, she met Crown Prince Haakon and in 2000 they moved to Oslo to live with him. The fact that Mette-Marit was a single mother and the circumstances surrounding this, including the background of the child's father as a convicted felon, were considered controversial. TV 2 later wrote that "Merely by existing, Marius Borg Høiby was seen by many as a scandal for the royal family."[5]

He graduated from high school in 2016. The following year he began to study "business" at Santa Monica College in California, a community college catering to non-traditional students who may not be accepted at more conventional colleges,[14] but dropped out after a few months without completing a degree. In late 2017, Høiby moved back to Norway briefly, before briefly working as an intern for designer Philipp Plein,[15] after which he was hired as style editor for the UK-based fashion magazine Tempus, until its closure in December 2018. Høiby moved back to Norway in 2019, residing in Tønsberg with then-partner Juliane Snekkestad.[16] After the couple split in 2022, Høiby moved to one of the houses at Skaugum, the official residence of the Crown Prince and Princess.[17]

Høiby was convicted of drug possession in 2017. When arrested, he claimed his residence was the royal palace, although he lived in Asker in another municipality.[18] As of 2024, the royal family's website included his half-siblings Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus, and made no mention of Høiby being part of the household.[19] His maternal grandfather, Sven O. Høiby, frequently spoke publicly about "little Marius" during his childhood, expressing that he believed his grandson should be given the title of Prince to avoid feeling second-class and becoming a target of bullying. He also claimed that he planned to write a book about his grandson.[5] Despite the absence of any formal roles or titles, Høiby has attended several royal events as a guest, including official state visits, dinners and Constitution Day celebrations.[20]

Personal life

[edit]

In adulthood, media reports regarding Høiby became more common, earning him a reputation in Norway as entitled and spoiled due to several minor scandals and controversies surrounding him.[21] Since 2016, Høiby has been in a series of high-profile relationships. Between 2016 and 2017, he was in a relationship with wealthy heir Linn Helena Nilsen.[15][22] From 2018 to 2022, Høiby was in a relationship with model and actress Juliane Snekkestad, whom he had met while working in Los Angeles.[23][24] He also briefly dated influencer Nora Haukland.[25] after his relationship with Snekkestad ended, before the couple split in 2023.

Controversies

[edit]

2024 indictments

[edit]

He has been charged with domestic violence.[26][27] As of mid-November 2024, police are not done with their investigations. Authorities said that they did not know when the case possibly could go to the court system.[28]

Four[29] women and one man have been victimized, according to the charges (as of 19 November 2024):

  • The "woman in Frogner" [or the woman that was living in the Frogner neighbourhood of Oslo]. Two instances of violence against her were reported, according to the charges. She is a former girlfriend of Høiby, and his last one, according to the media in September 2024.[30][31] On 13 September 2024, Rhebpolice arrested Høiby. He was released the next day.[32][27][33][34] The arrest was in regard to allegedly contacting her by phone, in violation of a restraining order.[26][35][36] Høiby has not admitted culpability [to the justice system].[37] Earlier in 2024, Høiby was arrested for violence against her, according to the charges.[26][38][39][40][41][42] A blood test was taken (while arrested); the test results were consistent with those of someone that had recently been using "cocain, ecstasy and cannabis".[43] The following day, recordings via telephone were released by the media, in which Høiby can be heard making multiple references to slapping/striking her previously.[44] Høiby admitted culpability.[45] On 23 August he was charged with making threats against her.[46][37]
  • Violence against a named woman at a date that has not been made public. She was once a girlfriend of Høiby.[30]
  • Violence against another named woman, within about[47] a four-year period. The charges say that he pulled her hair, pushed her, and hit her. She was once a girlfriend of Høiby.[30][48][49]
  • Sexual assault (or rape)[29] of a woman that was unable to resist. As a result he was arrested on 18 November.[50][6] The incident allegedly happened on Palm Sunday, in an apartment where she was registered as living; she does not know the other alleged victims.[51] Høiby was observed leaving a car where that woman was.[clarification needed] He did not know her previously, according to the media. He has not admitted culpability.[52]
  • In addition, one person has allegedly received a death threat from Høiby, according to the police.[30][53] Høiby is charged with having messaged him (through Instagram) and written that the person is a "fucking dead man" (fuckings død mann).[54] Høiby has admitted culpability, in regard to the threat.[45]

The authorities notified the Royal Court that Høiby would possibly be arrested. The Royal Court notified the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. She in turn notified her son, and a half hour later she drove him from Skaugum to an adjacent property, to the appointment with the police. The media claims (as of November 2024) that Høiby and his family has received preferential treatment from police.[43]

A full-time program of drug rehabilitation of Høiby, was supposed to start "within a short time" of mid-October, according to Høiby's lawyer Øvyind Bratlien.[55] Earlier on 25 September, the chief editor of Se og Hør said that Høiby should be forced to move from the royal residence at Skaugum.[56] The media have raised the question of whether the Crown Prince or Crown Princess finance Høiby's drug habit.[57]

Other reactions to the alleged crimes of 2024, include - after the first arrest - royal commentator Johan T. Lindwall describing Høiby's behavior as a "catastrophe" for the monarchy.[2] Royal commentator Sebastian Mattsson said Marius Høiby is viewed as the black sheep among the extended family of the royals due to his many scandals and controversies, but highlighting the 2024 charges as a new low.[58] Newspaper editor Trygve Hegnar described Høiby as "the psycho who brings down the royal family."[59]

Ten days after his arrest in August, Høiby released a statement admitting to his crimes and apologizing to the victim, adding that the incidents had taken place in a "haze of alcohol and cocaine" and stating that he has "several mental disorders."[60]

On 19 November, it was announced that Høiby was also charged with one count of "abuse in close relationships," violating a restraining order, and driving without a valid driver's license.[7] He can be released as early as 21 December, according to authorities.[29][7][61]

On 18 November 2024, Høiby was arrested on suspicion of rape and is facing trial.[6] Since 20 November 2024, he has been held in remand at Oslo Prison, and he is held in communicado.[62][7] The justice system has autorised that the police can keep him no longer than until 27 November 2024; at that time his one-week detention expires; the prosecutor had asked for two weeks.[62]

Other controversies

[edit]

Høiby has been at the center of several scandals and controversies after becoming an adult.

As an adult, he made headlines in 2016 after posting several luxury items for sale on a Norwegian online trade site using the royal residence as address, which led to criticism of Høiby misusing his proximity to the royal family for monetary gain, something his maternal grandfather had also been criticized for previously.[63] In 2018, Høiby was referred to as a "Prince of Norway" in Tempus Magazine, where he briefly worked as an editor, which again led to criticism from several Norwegian media outlets, until the references were removed from print and the magazine's website.[64][65] During 2023 and 2024, several outlets reported Høiby posting videos and images to social media showing him speeding and recklessly driving,[66] engaging in heavy partying and other offences, with Dagbladet describing his circuit of friends being one of "wealthy heirs, reality stars and influencers, mixed in with seasoned criminals and drug offenders".[67] This led to many experts criticizing Høiby as a security risk given his proximity to the royal family and residence near them.[68] Several outlets also criticized Høiby's repeated misuse of a false princely title, leading some outlets to refer to him as "the pseudo prince".[69]

In 2024, the media said that he had abused a diplomatic passport, a type of passport meant to be used by individuals on official missions representing Norway, even though he is not a diplomat and does not hold any public role. The media reported that he had "abused" the passport multiple times, including to evade the police abroad, even while under the influence of drugs.[70]

Høiby was convicted of drug possession in 2017.[18]
