Crown Prince Haakon of Norway faces a new family scandal that threatens to disrupt the calm in Oslo
Norway's Prince Haakon has always known how to balance his role as heir with that of father and husband. However, family decisions aren't always easy to handle. This time, his closest circle has placed him under intense media scrutiny.
Haakon's figure is respected in Norway, but family circumstances have led him to face tough criticism. His personal commitment to his family is non-negotiable. That loyalty is precisely what has sparked the latest media storm in Oslo.
A trip that reignites the controversy around Marius Borg
Marius Borg, Haakon's stepson and Princess Mette-Marit's son, is going through a critical legal moment. Charged with 23 offenses, including serious accusations of sexual violence, his name hasn't left the headlines. Despite this, he was recently seen with Haakon and Sverre Magnus, returning from a private vacation in Portugal.
The Norwegian outlet Se og Hør broke the news by publishing photos of the trio getting off a plane from Lisbon. It is speculated that their destination was Ribeira d’Ilhas, a coastal enclave where Haakon and Marius have shared surfing days. The trip, which was meant to be discreet, has been interpreted as an attempt at family reconnection before a crucial legal moment.
Norway's Prosecutor's Office is close to announcing the official charges Marius faces. In this context, the getaway has sparked a debate about the public image of the Royal House and their priorities.
Haakon, a steadfast father in the face of adversity
Haakon of Norway has never shied away from his role as stepfather. "We've worked for a long time so Marius can get somewhere and receive more help, rehabilitation, and treatment," he recently stated. These words reflect a commitment that goes beyond institutional duty.
Marius has publicly acknowledged his personal struggles, including mental health issues and addictions. After his arrest in 2024, he admitted, "Something happened last weekend that should never have happened." His rehabilitation process continues, although the path hasn't been easy.
For Haakon, the family bond is a priority, even amid criticism. "I have three children I'm incredibly proud of," he stated in a recent biography. This phrase defines his stance in the midst of the crisis, while Norwegian society watches with anticipation.
