800 pages of texts reveal volatile relationship at center of Høiby trial
As the trial of Marius Borg Høiby enters its final phase, one of the most revealing pieces of evidence has been the massive archive of private messages exchanged between Høiby and influencer Nora Haukland.
The conversations — spanning more than 800 pages — have been read aloud in court over several days and paint a complex portrait of a relationship that moved repeatedly between affection, jealousy and confrontation. Early exchanges show warmth and encouragement, but later messages reveal arguments about Haukland’s television career, social media and their future together.
Prosecutors argue the messages illustrate emotional pressure and conflict inside the relationship, while the defense says they demonstrate a turbulent but mutual dynamic rather than evidence of criminal behavior.
With the trial nearing its conclusion, the judges must now decide how much weight those deeply personal conversations should carry in evaluating the charges against Høiby.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.519
Callaroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome to Crown and Controversy Norway.
2
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:16.679
I am your Palace Intrigue host Mark Francis. As the
3
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.839
trial of Murriusborg Hoiby moves into its final stage, one
4
00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:22.719
of the largest pieces of evidence presented in court has
5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.239
been a massive archive of private messages exchanged between Hoibi
6
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.559
and influencer Norah Hauckland. According to prosecutors, the conversation span
7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.759
more than eight hundred pages. Over the past several days,
8
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.920
the court officials have read large portions of those exchanges
9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:42.600
allowed in Oslo District Court. The messages offer a detailed
10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.759
look inside the relationship between the two, revealing a pattern
11
00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:50.200
that shifts constantly between affection, jealousy, and confrontation. The relationship
12
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.119
between Hoibi and Howcome began in twenty twenty two. At
13
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.200
the time, Halkland was already a public figure in Norway
14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.439
through social media and reality television. Weiby, meanwhile, had grown
15
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:02.439
up in the orbit of Norway's royal family as the
16
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.040
son of Crown Princess Meta Marite. During the early part
17
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.599
of their relationship, many of the messages presented in court
18
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.760
were affectionate. In one exchange, read in court this week,
19
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.760
Weaby wrote, I don't want to completely let go. Halcolm replied,
20
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.519
we don't have to. Other messages from that period showed
21
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.640
the couple encouraging each other and discussing their lives and careers,
22
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.840
but as the relationship continued, the tone of the messages
23
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:28.560
began to change. Much of the conflicts centered around Halclm's
24
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.840
growing public profile and her participation in reality television. One
25
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.680
of the programs discussed repeatedly in court was the military
26
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.159
style reality series Company lur Ritson. Weiby appeared worrying that
27
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.519
the show would strain their relationship. In one message read
28
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.200
aloud in court, he wrote, I know Company is something
29
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:48.719
you've wanted and something that is probably good for your career,
30
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.840
but we both know it's going to crush our relationship.
31
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:55.680
Everything will go to hell. Halcolm responded by saying she
32
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.000
felt she had already changed aspects of her life for
33
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:01.400
the sake of the relationship. I have changed myself for you,
34
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.000
she wrote, I behaved differently on social media and I
35
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.000
addressed differently. She continued by describing opportunities she said she
36
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.039
had already declined. I said no to Farman even though
37
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.159
I really wanted it, but here I have to draw
38
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:15.039
a line. You have to choose whether you want to
39
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.000
be with me or not. These messages read in court
40
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.879
show the relationship moving through cycles of reconciliation and conflict.
41
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.680
In some exchanges, the couple spoke warmly to one another.
42
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.280
In others, the term became sharply hostile. At one point,
43
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.400
during an argument later in the relationship, halclann wrote, f
44
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.520
hew Marius few hoyby reply well few too. Other messages
45
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.520
included accusations about loyalty and questions about who each of
46
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.000
them was singing after the relationship ended. The exchanges also
47
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.319
revealed that the couple continued communicating even after their breakup
48
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.400
became public. In July of twenty twenty three, halcln confirmed
49
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.919
publicly on Instagram that the relationship had ended. She wrote
50
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.199
at the time that the relationship included both love and
51
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:57.560
strong emotions. It has been a lot of love and
52
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.680
a lot of feelings, she wrote, I look back on
53
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.759
them memories with a smile and a heavy heart. But
54
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.840
the messages presented in court show that the communication between
55
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.199
the two continued after that point. In several exchanges readled
56
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.360
out in court this week, the two discussed a meeting
57
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.159
again and staying in contact despite the breakup. At times,
58
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:19.080
the tone suggested lingering affection. In one message, Hebey wrote simply,
59
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.080
I don't want to completely let go. Hawclun replied, we
60
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.680
don't have to. Those kinds of exchanges and what the
61
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:30.759
prosecutors say illustrate the emotional volatility of the relationship, But
62
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.080
the same conversations are being used by the defense to
63
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.439
argue something different, that the relationship was complicated, that both
64
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.960
parties continued to seek contact, and that the conflicts described
65
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.280
in court were not one sided. The message also shows
66
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.000
that the relationship unfolded under intense public attention. Because of
67
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.319
Hoibi's connection to Norway's royal family and Halcuin's role was
68
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.639
a reality television personality and influencer, Their private disputes often
69
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.639
played out against a backdrop of media coverage and online speculation.
70
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.199
That dynamic appears repeatedly in the conversations presented in court.
71
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.599
In one exchange, the two discussed how the television series
72
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.599
Girls of Oslo might portray their relationship, where he wrote
73
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.240
that the experience had been emotionally difficult for him. I
74
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.639
cried the whole time. In a Beezer because of you,
75
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.439
he wrote in one message, referring to filming for the show.
76
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.199
Other messages touched on more personal concerns money in Hoeby's
77
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:25.680
struggles with substance abuse were mentioned in several of the
78
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.920
exchanges presented during the hearings. In one message readle out
79
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.240
in court, Halklund told him she hoped he would seek help.
80
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:35.240
I hope you get help, she wrote. Those details have
81
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.680
taken on added significance in the court room because the
82
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.600
prosecution is argued that drugs and alcohol played a role
83
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:44.480
in several of the incidents described in the indictment. The defense, meanwhile,
84
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:47.399
has emphasized that substance use does not explain the events
85
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.560
described by prosecutors, and that many of the conflicts described
86
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.560
in the messages were mutual arguments rather than evidence of
87
00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:01.839
criminal behavior. More ground controversy in justin moment for observers
88
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.360
in the court room, The reading of the messages has
89
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.879
also underscored how deeply personal the evidence in the case
90
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:09.480
has become. Over several days, judges and lawyers have listened
91
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.040
as intimate conversations between the former couple were read aloud,
92
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.160
line by line. At times, the exchanges have been affectionate.
93
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.720
At other times they have been openly hostile. Taken together,
94
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.160
the messages reveal a relationship that swung repeatedly between closeness
95
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.639
and confrontation. As the trial approaches its final phase, the
96
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.680
judges will ultimately have to decide what those conversations mean
97
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.120
and how much weight they carry in understanding the events
98
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:37.199
that led to the charges against Marius borg Waby. According
99
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.879
to the current court schedule, the trial is expected to
100
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.319
move into its final phase next week. Prosecutors will begin
101
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.759
their closing arguments on Monday, March fifteenth, and are scheduled
102
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.319
to continue on Tuesday. Lawyers representing the alleged victims will
103
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.639
then present their arguments later on March sixteenth and seventeenth.
104
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.360
The defense team is scheduled to deliver its closing arguments
105
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.160
beginning on the seventeenth and continuing the following day, when
106
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.319
the trial is expected to conclude. After those final arguments,
107
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.639
the judges will withdraw to deliberate before eventually issuing a verdict.
