On Nov. 19, Crown Prince Haakon spoke about the arrest of his stepson, 27, the day prior. Crown Prince Haakon is Marius' stepfather through his marriage to Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Mette-Marit welcomed her son Marius during a relationship that preceded her 2001 marriage to Haakon, and Marius does not have a royal role within the monarchy.

The 27-year-old son of Norway’s crown princess has been accused of a second rape just days after he was arrested on suspicion of the same offense.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway's son will be held in prison for up to a week while police investigate allegations of rape made against him, an Olso court ruled on Wednesday night. Marius Borg Hoiby, 27, was arrested on Monday night on suspicion of rape, marking the third time he has been arrested since August.
