Marius Borg Høiby detention and royal funeral involvement

Overview

Following the death of King Harald V, the Norwegian monarchy has transitioned to King Haakon VIII, with Princess Ingrid Alexandra serving as heir. While the royal house unveiled the King’s olivine stone sarcophagus, the family continues to navigate legal developments involving Marius Borg Høiby.

Høiby, the son of Queen Mette-Marit, is scheduled for a retrial beginning February 9, 2027, at the Borgarting Court of Appeal. An Oslo court granted his appeal, which will focus on three primary points: guilt regarding two counts of rape, allegations of domestic abuse against a former partner, Nora Haukland, and the severity of his four-year sentence. He was previously acquitted of rape charges against two other women.

Ahead of these proceedings, Høiby has changed his legal defense team for the third time since investigations began in August 2024. He has appointed Alexander Greaker and Daniel Storrvik to replace his previous lawyers, Ellen Holager Andenæs and Petar Sekulic. Former lawyer Petar Sekulic noted the change was not unexpected, stating that Høiby wanted ‘two new pairs of eyes on the case.’ The new defense team intends to implement a different strategy, including conducting their own evidence collection and presenting new witnesses.

The prospect of a retrial has drawn criticism from victim Linni Meister, who expressed frustration and distress at the necessity of reliving the trauma.

Regarding the late King’s estate, which includes significant real estate and jewelry, Queen Sonja is the primary heir, followed by King Haakon VIII and Princess Märtha Louise. Høiby is not legally required to be included in the inheritance.
