Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway is currently experiencing one of the most challenging periods of her life. Her son, Marius Borg Høiby, has been charged with 38 offenses, including serious accusations that could lead to a ten-year prison sentence. In addition, Princess Mette-Marit has been embroiled in controversy due to her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, further complicating the already delicate situation. As a result, reports indicate that she is now alone amid the scandals, a claim initially made by Svensk Damtidning.

The Norwegian royal family is reportedly absent at a time when Mette-Marit needs support the most. King Harald and Queen Sonja were recently attending the Winter Olympics in Milan and have since gone on a private vacation. Meanwhile, Crown Prince Haakon, Mette-Marit’s husband, remains in Italy to watch the Olympics, leaving Mette-Marit without the familial support she would typically rely on. Their children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus, are also overseas, leaving her isolated during a turbulent moment.

This situation raises questions about the stability of the royal family and how they navigate personal crises in the public eye. The unfolding legal issues involving Mette-Marit’s son could have significant implications for the royal family’s image and public perception. As she grapples with the challenges of her son’s situation and her own controversies, the absence of her family around her only amplifies the pressures she faces in her role as a royal.
