Even house arrest is dramatic for Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Queen Mette-Marit of Norway. The 29-year-old, confined at a royal estate outside Oslo while he appeals a four-year prison sentence for rape and other offences, allegedly confronted a man who showed up at the Skaugum residence shortly after midnight on Friday, knocking and kicking the door. When Høiby opened the door, the man forced his way in and pushed him, Norwegian media reported. People.
Høiby fought off the intruder and called the police, who arrived within about 90 seconds, according to the report. Authorities confirmed an arrest near Høiby’s home, which was apparently outside the royal security perimeter, but shared no further details; the man was later released. Høiby’s lawyer called the incident “very serious” and “very unpleasant.” This came two days after a court overturned a lower court ruling in favor of Høiby’s release, according to Reuters. King Haakon’s stepson, who was granted special permission to attend his step-grandfather’s funeral in September, was ordered to remain under house arrest and wear an ankle monitor ahead of his appeal trial in February.
