BBC at Oslo court ahead of Crown Princess’s son’s rape trial


The trial of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit son is due to start in Tuesday in Oslo. Marius Borg Høiby is accused of 38 charges, including the rape of four women, assaulting and threatening a girlfriend and damaging her flat, as well as drugs charges and driving offences.

If found guilty, he could face more than 10 years in jail.

On Sunday, Høiby was arrested for the fourth time since being detained by police since August 2024.

This comes as links between his mother and late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were revealed.

The BBC’s Europe digital editor, Paul Kirby, reports from outside the court.
