The Norwegian monarchy is facing one of its most turbulent periods as Princess Mette-Marit finds herself at the center of a growing scandal involving her eldest son, Marius Borg.
Marius Borg’s Allegations and Mette-Marit’s Alleged Cover-Up
Marius Borg, Princess Mette-Marit’s son from a previous relationship, has long been known for his controversial lifestyle, but recent accusations have escalated concerns.
According to Spanish journalist Pilar Eyre, a mother of one of Marius’ alleged victims reportedly reached out to Princess Mette-Marit, seeking her intervention over the harm her daughter suffered. However, Eyre claims the princess ignored the plea, potentially making her complicit in covering up her son’s actions.
The journalist further alleges that Mette-Marit has spent years shielding Marius from public scrutiny, attempting to hide his excesses, wild parties, and questionable behaviors to protect his reputation. These revelations, if confirmed, could severely damage her standing within the Norwegian royal family and lead to legal consequences.
Mounting Pressure on Princess Mette-Marit
Princess Mette-Marit, who has previously faced criticism over her past before joining the royal family, now finds herself in an increasingly vulnerable position. The controversy could have serious ramifications for her public image, as well as her future role within the monarchy.
Meanwhile, the Norwegian royal family is working to contain the fallout, with the public closely watching how the situation unfolds. If further evidence of Mette-Marit’s involvement in shielding her son emerges, it could significantly undermine the trust placed in the monarchy.
A Royal Family Already Under Strain
This latest controversy comes at a challenging time for the Norwegian royal family, as King Harald V continues to battle health issues, and Crown Prince Haakon tries to maintain stability amid mounting public scrutiny.
With legal and reputational risks looming, Mette-Marit’s future within the royal household now hangs in the balance. The scandal has sparked nationwide debate, and the coming weeks could prove pivotal in determining whether the princess can weather the storm or if this controversy marks a turning point in her royal career.
