Crown Princess's Son Convicted of Rape; Norway Faces Rare Family Crisis

Marius Borg Høiby, son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was convicted on June 15 of rape, assault, and abuse across 38 charges. Prosecutors sought over seven years in prison—a severe sentence reflecting the seriousness of violent and sexual crimes under Norwegian law. The conviction is unprecedented for Norway's royal family, though appeals to the Supreme Court remain possible.
