For several months, the seemingly perfect world of the Norwegian royals has been rocked by a scandal involving Marius Borg Høiby, Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s eldest son. The 27-year-old, from Mette-Marit’s previous relationship, is facing serious charges. In late August, he was arrested for assault and property damage.

Marius has since admitted to being under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and recent allegations of sexual abuse have emerged.

Until now, Princess Mette-Marit has refrained from commenting publicly on the events. However, during a Christmas visit to the Risenga Bo- og Omsorgssenter residential and care center in Asker, the 51-year-old princess was visibly emotional and broke down in tears for the first time in a public appearance.

Photos show a visibly moved Princess Mette-Marit allowing her emotions to surface as she sheds tears. While the exact reason for her emotional reaction remains unclear, it’s evident that the past few weeks have been incredibly stressful for her. Her husband, Haakon, was by her side, offering support throughout the visit.
