Mette-Marit’s Reputation Under Fire, and Debate Over Media Pressure in Høiby Trial

Crown Princess Mette-Marit faces mounting international scrutiny as German media coverage of the Epstein revelations and the criminal trial of her son, Marius Borg Høiby, intensifies. A Berlin-based journalist claims her reputation in Germany is “completely destroyed,” while the rest of the Norwegian royal family continues official duties abroad, leaving the Crown Princess at Skaugum.
Defence lawyer Ellen Holager Andenæs sharply criticises the armed police operation that led to Høiby’s 2024 arrest, calling it disproportionate, while prosecutors defend both the arrest and their public handling of the indictment.
An opinion piece in Finansavisen argues that the extraordinary media pressure surrounding the case could justify a reduced sentence if Høiby is convicted — raising broader questions about justice, publicity and royal proximity.
