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.

On Nov. 19, Crown Prince Haakon spoke about the arrest of his stepson, 27, the day prior. Crown Prince Haakon is Marius' stepfather through his marriage to Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Mette-Marit welcomed her son Marius during a relationship that preceded her 2001 marriage to Haakon, and Marius does not have a royal role within the monarchy.

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.
