The son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit is set to face trial in early 2026 after his indictment last week following a lengthy investigation.

Marius Borg Høiby, Mette-Marit’s eldest son born before her marriage to the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne, Crown Prince Haakon, was slapped with multiple charges, including rape and domestic abuse.

The 28-year-old, who has no royal title or official duties, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. He has denied the most serious allegations.

Prince Harry is set to meet with his estranged father, King Charles, in the coming weeks, marking their first in-person reunion in a whopping 20 months, according to a report.

The Duke of Sussex, 40, will be jetting to the UK in early September for the annual WellChild Awards, and will meet up with the monarch, 76, during his time on home soil, the Mirror reports.

And while insiders claim that a royal reconciliation is “within reach,” Prince William has seemingly rejected his brother’s invitation “out of hand.”

“Nobody is pretending the wider family issues have been resolved, but this is about beginning with Charles and Harry,” a source told the outlet, adding that there is “determination on both sides to make this happen.”

“For the first time in a long time, there’s a genuine sense that reconciliation is within reach,” the insider went on.

“Prince Harry’s team and the Palace have opened a line of communication, and there is every hope that father and son will see one another when the Duke returns to London in September.”
