<body><div> The future Queen of Norway's troubled son reportedly laughed that 'there was almost a guard who didn't make it' as a result of his reckless driving. Local media say that&nbsp;Marius Borg Høiby - who was arrested in August for assault, and again in September - was last year reported to the authorities for speeding up the driveway to&nbsp;Skaugum, Crown Princess <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/princess-mette-marit-of-norway/index.html" rel="nofollow"> Mette-Marit </a> and Crown Prince Haakon's official residence. He was allegedly reaching 91 kilometres in what was likely a 50 km per hour zone. Marius had posted a video of himself on Instagram, and along with a series of laughing and crying emojis joked about the danger of the situation, according to <a href="https://www.seher.no/kongelig/stjal-fra-kronprinsparets-bolig/81979213" rel="nofollow"> Se og Hør </a> . The outlet also claimed that police had categorised it as 'reckless driving', but the case was dropped after four days due to&nbsp;insufficient evidence. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> FEMAIL has contacted the Norwegian Royal Household for comment. One Instagram photo, obtained by <a href="https://www.seher.no/kongelig/stjal-fra-kronprinsparets-bolig/81979213" rel="nofollow"> Se og Hør </a> and understood to have been taken by a friend of Marius's, also shows a car smashed into a wire fence, captioned: '.....AND Marius is out!' It comes following reports that Skaugum was raided after Marius, 27, threw a 'wild party'. The Crown Prince and Princess's home was burgled, according to&nbsp;Norwegian news outlet <a href="https://www.seher.no/kongelig/stjal-fra-kronprinsparets-bolig/81979213" rel="nofollow"> Se og Hør </a> . This reportedly occurred after Mette-Marit's son, who was arrested in August for assault, and again in September, held a party at the lavish property. Shortly after the get-together, a motorcycle gang reportedly stole private items from the Norwegian Royal Family. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Items, including silverware, are alleged to have been taken and then attempted to be sold via an auction house. Marius, who is Mette-Maritt's son from a previous relationship, is said to have thrown parties known as 'Skaugum festival' for his friends at the residence, which the Crown Prince and Princess have called home since 2003. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2fh448_0vlkgkvj00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2fh448_0vlkgkvj00" width="634" height="745" ><figcaption>One Instagram photo, obtained by Se og Hør , also shows a car smashed into a wire fence, captioned: '.....AND Marius is out!' </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0AkAVR_0vlkgkvj00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0AkAVR_0vlkgkvj00" width="634" height="634" ><figcaption>The Crown Prince and Princess have renovated the palace since moving in, turning it into luxury apartments.

Footage shows clothes thrown across the floor. MailOnline contacted The Norwegian Royal Household for comment at the time. The Crown Prince and Princess have renovated their home since moving in, turning it into luxury apartments, reported <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/homes/720567/crown-princess-mette-marit-son-marius-borg-hoiby-involved-burglary-skaugum-royal-residence/" rel="nofollow"> Hello! magazine </a> . <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> During the pandemic, they shared a glimpse inside their modern home, including in one photograph from inside their office during a video call. The room boasted a stylish blue colour scheme, with wooden panelling on the bottom half of the walls. Artwork and&nbsp;a gold-framed mirror decorated the space. Meanwhile, their dining room features grey sofas and a chic dining table, as well as more chic artwork. Earlier this month, the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon, often referred to as the 'black sheep' of the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/royals/index.html" rel="nofollow"> royal family </a> of Norway, was taken into custody after breaching a restraining order. The restraining order in question was for the protection of Rebecca Helberg Arntsen, whom Borg Høiby admitted to assaulting, in a booze and drug-fuelled attack on 4 August, which saw him arrested for the first time and held in a police cell overnight. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The order was not made immediately after the attack, but after&nbsp;Borg Høiby reportedly contacted the victim on several occasions following the assault. According to Norwegian tabloid <a href="https://www.seher.no/kongelig/mette-marit-har-snakket-med-offeret/81788381" rel="nofollow"> Se Og Hor </a> , Borg Høiby, 27, allegedly contacted his victim, whom he has previously referred to as his 'girlfriend', on Saturday, September 7, from a hidden telephone number. In a statement via his lawyer,&nbsp;Borg Høiby has strenuously denied the claim. Defender&nbsp;Øyvind Bratlien slammed the arrest as being made on 'thin' evidence and accused the police of 'reverse discrimination'. As reported by <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/14/marius-borg-hoiby-norway-girlfriend-assault/" rel="nofollow"> The Telegraph </a> , on September 13 Marius was arrested once again, for allegedly allegedly violating an imposed restraining order. He was said to have been released the following day. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Meanwhile the charges against&nbsp;Borg Høiby have expanded to also include three more victims, after other women came forward in the wake of his arrest. One of the further victims has not been named. However, two have been named as&nbsp;Borg Høiby's exes&nbsp;Juliane Snekkestad and&nbsp;Nora Haukland. The Norwegian royal family was rocked by&nbsp;Borg Høiby's first arrest at the beginning of August, after Rebecca Helberg Arntsen was left in hospital with her injuries following the attack. A week after his arrest, Borg Høiby sensationally admitted to the assault on Rebecca, whom he referred to as his 'girlfriend' (her lawyers have refuted this claim). <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0Y9CZa_0vlkgkvj00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Y9CZa_0vlkgkvj00" width="634" height="783" ><figcaption>The son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship last month admitted to assaulting his 'girlfriend' in a booze and drug filled rage </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1LY3Ti_0vlkgkvj00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1LY3Ti_0vlkgkvj00" width="634" height="447" ><figcaption>Borg Høiby, a former motor mechanic, has been previously labelled the 'black sheep' of the Norwegian royal family </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4RrL2R_0vlkgkvj00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4RrL2R_0vlkgkvj00" width="634" height="819" ><figcaption>Borg Høiby (pictured with Prince Haakon in 2017) is under suspicion for causing bodily harm and criminal damage </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2MX9JD_0vlkgkvj00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2MX9JD_0vlkgkvj00" width="634" height="427" ><figcaption>When he turned 20, the royal court announced Marius was stepping away from public life and his profile was removed from the family's official website </figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1F9TiN_0vlkgkvj00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1F9TiN_0vlkgkvj00" width="634" height="495" ><figcaption>Marius pictured with other members of the Norwegian royal family, including the King, Queen, and heir to the throne in June 2022 </figcaption></figure> In a statement issued via his own lawyer,&nbsp;Borg Høiby said he suffers from 'several mental disorders' and has 'struggled with substance abuse for a long time', which he said he is resuming treatment for. The statement read:&nbsp;'Last weekend something happened that should never have happened. I committed bodily harm and destroyed objects in an apartment in the intoxication of alcohol and cocaine after an argument. 'I have several mental disorders which mean that throughout my upbringing and adult life, I have had, and still have, challenges. I have struggled with substance abuse for a long time, something I have been in treatment for in the past. 'The drug use and my diagnoses do not excuse what happened in the apartment at Frogner on the night of Sunday last weekend. I want to be responsible for what I have done, and will explain myself truthfully to the police. 'For me, the most important thing is to say sorry to my girlfriend. She deserved neither what happened that night, nor the extreme pressure from both the Norwegian and foreign press afterwards.' Mette-Marit's eldest son also apologised to his family for his actions that have 'greatly affected you'. Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship, was raised by his mother and stepfather with his half-siblings, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 20, and Prince Sverre Magnus, 18, but unlike them he has no official public role. The arrest and his admission cast a shadow over the recent royal wedding in Norway as Princess Martha Louise wed American Shaman Durek Verrett on August 31 in&nbsp;Geiranger Fjord. Ahead of the nuptials, the Norwegian palace confirmed&nbsp;Borg Høiby would not be attending the wedding with his mother, stepfather and half-siblings. Norwegian media later reported that the former motor mechanic had turned down the invitation to attend an Italian wedding of the son of a billionaire and an influencer. However, when news of the assault and arrest came to light,&nbsp;Borg Høiby was uninvited from that wedding after guests threatened to pull out if he was in attendance. Marius arrived in Pisa ahead of the wedding of Karianne Vilde Spetalen and Kristian Spetalen, both 30. It is believed that guests thought Norwegian press would travel to Italy to document the wedding if Marius was present, a circumstance some did not feel comfortable with. Sources told <a href="https://www.seher.no/kongelig/brudeparet-trakk-invitasjonen/81864828" rel="nofollow"> Se og Hør </a> that Norwegian influencer Karianne also faced backlash from her family regarding Marius's planned attendance. The scandal of the Norwegian royal family's 'black sheep' Borg Høiby's arrest has damaged some Norwegians' affection for their monarchy, MailOnline previously revealed. Traditionally the people of Norway are even more fervent royalists than Brits, but we found that young people in particular were less forgiving of Borg Høiby's behaviour. </div></body>
