Marius Borg Høiby, known as Norway's 'bonus prince', has admitted to two new charges related to his ongoing trial. The charges, as reported by the Norwegian Aftenposten newspaper, involve reckless behavior and the violation of a restraining order, which is described under Norwegian law as actions that deliberately or grossly negligently disturb the peace or safety of others. The restraining order was reportedly designed to protect his ex-girlfriend, referred to as 'the Frogner woman'.

According to reports, the incidents leading to the new charges occurred at Høiby’s apartment the weekend before the trial began, where neighbors reported hearing loud banging noises and doors slamming. Høiby, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship, faces numerous charges, although he has denied the most serious allegations, including four counts of rape. These developments add complexity to an already serious case, which has attracted significant media attention in Norway.

Høiby holds no official position within the royal family, despite his close ties, and the public scrutiny surrounding his legal troubles continues to grow. As he navigates this legal battle, the implications for his personal life and reputation, as well as the royal family’s image, remain uncertain. His admission to new charges could have significant effects on the proceedings and may influence public perception as the case unfolds.
