Marius Borg Høiby (born 13 January 1997)[1] is a member of the Norwegian royal family, the oldest son of Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway from a previous relationship and the maternal half-brother of Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus. Høiby recieved a lot of media attention as the first step-child in the history of the royal family, making regular appearances along his mother and stepfather, Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway, after their engagement in 2001.[2] In 2024, Høiby again entered the media spotlight after being charged with violence, assault and battery against several ex-partners.[3]
Biography
editHøiby was born on 13 January 1997 to Mette-Marit Tjessen Høiby and Morten Borg, an acquaintance she had briefly dated. At the time of Høibys birth, Borg was in prison for drug-related violent crimes, and the two didn't meet until Høiby moved to Oslo with his mother in 1999. Høiby was initially raised in Kristiansand by his mother and her then-partner, a local disk jockey, until the couple split in early 1999.[2] Later that same year, she met Crown Prince Haakon and later moved to Oslo to live with him alongside her son. After his mother and stepfathers marriage in 2001, Høiby formally became a member of the Norwegian Royal Family, but did not recieve an official title or position in compliance with his parents wishes.[4] Despite this, Høiby has attended several royal events as a guest, including official state visits, dinners and Constitution Day celebrations.[5]
Høiby enrolled at Wang Toppidrettsgymnas (Wang High School for Sport and Athletics) in 2013 and graduated in 2016. The following year he began business studies at Santa Monica College in California,[6] but dropped out after a few months without completing a degree. In late 2017, Høiby moved back to Norway briefly, before traveling to Milano working as a practitioner for designer Philipp Plein[7], after which he was hired as style editor for the UK-based fashion magazine Tempus, until it's closure in December 2018. Høiby moved back to Norway in 2019, residing in Tønsberg with then-partner Juliane Snekkestad[8]. After the couple split in 2022, Høiby moved to one of the houses at Skaugum, the official residence of the Crown Prince and Princess.[9]
Since 2016, Høiby has been in a string of high-profile relationships. Between 2016 and 2017, he was in a relationship with wealthy heir Linn Helena Nilsen,[7][10] after which Høiby was in a relationshop with influencer Juliane Snekkestad, whom he had met while working in Milano, between 2018 and 2022. He briefly dated influencer Nora Haukland after his relationship with Snekkestad ended, before the couple split in 2023.
Controversy and assault charges
editHøiby first attracted controversy in 2016 after posting several luxury items for sale on a Norwegian online trade site using the Royal residence as address, which led to criticism of Høiby misusing his proximity to the Royal family for monetary gain, something his grandfather had also been criticized for previously.[11] In 2018, Høiby was referred to as a "Prince of Norway" in by Tempus, where he briefly worked as an editor, which again led to criticism from several Norwegian media outlets, until the references were removed from print and the magazines website.[12][13] During 2023 and 2024, several outlets reported Høiby posting videos and images to social media showing him speeding and recklessly driving,[14] engaging in heavy partying and other offences, with Dagbladet describing his circuit of friends being one of "wealthy heirs, reality stars and influencers, mixed in with seasoned criminals and drug offenders".[15] This led to many experts criticizing Høiby as a security risk given his proximity to the Royal family and residence near them.[16]
In August 2024, news broke that Høiby had been arrested and charged with assualt against an unnamed female the day before.[17] The charges were later expanded to include violent threats, assault, battery and property damages,[18] and recieved media attention both in Norway and internationally.[19] A few days later, it was reported that the victim was an ex-girlfriend after his mother, The Crown Princess, was revealed to have contacted her via telephone to discuss the charges, which led to heavy criticism from several parties.[20][21]
Ten days after his initial arrest, Høiby released a statement admitting to his crimes and apologizing to the victim, adding that the incidents had taken place in a "haze of alcohol and cocaine".[22] The statement led to two of his former girlfriends coming forward saying that they had experienced similar behaviour, criticizing Høiby for attempting to make light of the accusations as a one-time mistake given his history of drug abuse and violence, which in turn led to the two being called in for questioning in relation to the charges.[23][24] The following day, partial recordings of the violent threats made via telephone were relased by the media, in which Høiby can be heard threatening to burn his ex-girlfriends belongings and making multiple references to striking her previously.[25]
