In a recent court hearing in Oslo, Marius Borg Høiby's ex-girlfriend recounted her desperate appeals to the Norwegian Crown Prince couple for help regarding Høiby, who is facing legal issues. According to reports from the Norwegian news agency NTB, she addressed Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Crown Prince Haakon directly, asking them to intervene in Høiby's life, stating, 'You must help him, can't you see that he needs help?'. This highlights the ongoing struggles Høiby, 29, has been facing, which have now reached the courts.

The ex-girlfriend, who was in a relationship with Høiby from 2022 to 2023, expressed her concerns about his health and future, noting that she proposed sending him to rehabilitation to address his problems. She concluded her testimony with a stark warning, saying 'This will not end well', indicating the severity of Høiby's situation and the urgent need for assistance. The testimony sheds light on personal aspects of Høiby’s life and the pressures that come with being part of the Norwegian royal family.

Høiby has been in court since the beginning of the month facing serious charges, the details of which remain sensitive given his public profile. His connections to the royal family complicate the legal narrative, as personal and public interests collide. This case has grafted onto a broader discussion about mental health and the responsibilities of family, especially under the scrutiny of media and public expectations. The trial continues to attract attention as it unfolds in Oslo's district court.
