The stepson of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit is set to be released from custody after being arrested on rape charges last week. Marius Borg Høiby, Mette-Marit’s eldest stepson born before her marriage to the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne,

Marit, has been released after spending a week in custody on suspicion of committing sex offences. Police announced on Wednesday morning that they would not be seeking further pre-trial detention for the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
