Norwegian royal son under house arrest at Skaugum

Entities: Skaugum Palace · Marius Borg Høiby · Oslo District Court · Crown Prince Haakon · Skaugum estate

Overview

Marius Borg Høiby, 29, the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette‑Marit, was sentenced on 15 June 2026 to four years in prison for multiple offences. After an appeal was lodged on 24 June, the Oslo District Court on 13 July allowed his pre‑trial detention to continue under electronic house arrest on the royal Skaugum estate, with ankle‑monitoring and strict conditions. The prosecution initially signalled an appeal but later withdrew, leaving the decision final.

On 18 July the court confirmed a four‑week electronic monitoring period, noting that the prosecution would not contest the arrangement. Høiby was transferred from Ila prison to a rented house on the estate, where he may leave only for court‑approved work, education or medical reasons and must obtain police permission for any short trips. He retains internet and mobile access, is prohibited from alcohol and intoxicants, and undergoes regular drug tests.

A 29 July report described his daily life at Skaugum: he can walk the park, use the pool and has hosted grill parties for friends, while an electronic perimeter fence alerts police to any breach. The appeal remains pending; if upheld in spring 2027, time already served will count toward his sentence, leaving roughly 20 months of imprisonment.

The arrangement continues to draw public criticism over perceived preferential treatment, amid ongoing concerns for his mother’s health.
