Leaked audio of violent, drug-dealing son embarrasses Norway royals

Marius Borg Hoiby, Princess Mette-Marit's eldest son, has put the Norwegian Royal Family in a difficult position. Compromising audio recordings leaked in which the Prince admits to having sold drugs and being linked to criminal circles.

According to the newspaper La Vanguardia, Marius speaks openly about his illegal activities in the leaked recording. The Norwegian public has reacted strongly to the revelation and is criticizing the royal family.

In the recordings, Marius Borg claims that his mother, Mette-Marit, his stepfather, Prince Haakon, and their inner circle were aware of his drug problems.

Marius Borg explains that his group of friends with bad influences has been the same for a decade. He says his parents knew about his criminal ties.

However, according to Borg himself, no steps were taken to correct his behavior.

This revelation has sparked criticism of the royal family in Norway, ABC reports. The apparent inaction of this young criminal's powerful family rubs the Norwegian press and audience the wrong way.

According to the newspaper 20 Minutes, Borg said in the leaked audios that the Norwegian press cannot publish news about his activities due to an alleged agreement with the Royal Family.

The radio silence kept him calm, as he did not have to be afraid of the media repercussions of his actions. However, now that his words have leaked and circulated on the internet, there's no denying his mistakes.

In addition to his confessions about drug dealing, Marius Borg has been arrested on several occasions in recent months, including on charges of assault and violating a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend, Nora Haukland.

According to the newspaper ABC, the young man's behavior has put the image of the Norwegian monarchy in jeopardy.

One of the darkest twists in this case is the recent arrest of a hitman who was allegedly hired to kill Marius Borg's ex-girlfriend. Although Borg has not yet been directly linked to this attempted murder, the case remains under investigation.

Princess Mette-Marit, a single mother before her marriage to the prince, has remained tight-lipped about the case.

The only thing the princess did, was to ask in a recent public appearance, that the public and press respect and understand the difficult times her family is going through.

Marius Borg has been arrested on at least two recent occasions, most recently for violating his ex-girlfriend's restraining order. In August, he was also charged with assault and damaging Haukland's apartment, a fact he publicly admitted and apologized for, La Vanguardia reports.

The scandal surrounding Marius Borg is not only affecting his reputation but also that of the Norwegian monarchy. The popularity of the royals, already hit by other problems, is at an all-time low, and many are wondering how they will handle this situation.

With the case still under investigation and the involvement of the royal family becoming increasingly evident, the future of Marius Borg and his relationship with the Royal House is uncertain. The authorities are still investigating both his criminal ties and the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend.
