Marius, 27, was arrested in August and later admitted assaulting his girlfriend. READ MORE:The Crown Prince and Princess of Norway were given prior warning that the Princess's son was about to be arrested on suspicion of assault in August after his 'girlfriend' was taken to hospital with injuries she sustained in an attack.
A spokesman for the Royal Court told VG: 'The police notified the Royal Court and the Royal Court then informed the Crown Prince couple about an incident involving Marius Borg Høiby and about a possible arrest. 'I understand that there are many questions about this. It is, of course, as you surely understand, a demanding situation,' the royal said to NRK when translated to English.
The 27-year-old has reportedly been questioned over the allegations in eight police interviews, and was taken into custody earlier in October after breaching a restraining order. However, Borg Høiby has denied the charges, with his defence lawyer claiming the 27-year-old had faced abuse in a past relationship himself.
Last month, the court warned that Mette-Marit's current course of treatment for pulmonary fibrosis may interfere with her planned duties over the coming weeks. 'The Crown Prince and I are choosing to make this public now partly because in future there will be a need to plan periods of time without an official programme to accommodate treatment and when the disease is more active.'
Pulmonary fibrosis is incurable and worsens over time, but the Norwegian royal's doctor, Professor Kristian Bjøro at the National Hospital, said they'd been monitoring her condition for several years and the 'disease progression has been slow over this period'.
