Norwegian Crown Prince's Son Marius Borg Høiby Held Under House Arrest at Skaugum

Marius Borg Høiby, the 29‑year‑old son of Crown Princess Mette‑Marit, remains in investigation detention after being sentenced to four years for multiple offenses, including assault and threats. While his appeal is pending, a Norwegian judge allowed him to serve the detention at the royal estate Skaugum under strict electronic monitoring. The Crown Prince, Haakon, provided Høiby with a house on the grounds, where he may move freely within the fenced area, use the palace park, and access a pool, though swimming is prohibited. Reports say he has hosted small gatherings, grilled on a terrace and enjoyed the estate’s amenities, but all activities are subject to a ban on alcohol, drugs and outside visitors. Legal experts note that each day spent at Skaugum counts as a day of detention and will be credited toward any eventual prison term.
