The 27-year-old Marius Borg Høiby plunged the Norwegian royal family into a deep crisis with violent excesses. Princess Mette-Marit (51), his mother, has now become the focus of attention herself. The damage to her image is enormous. And what did the princess know about the blue-blooded scandal?

The mood in Norway has long since changed. The countrymen in the far north cannot believe it, no, they are stunned, angry and outraged by what has been going on in the royal family surrounding Marius Borg Høiby (27) for months. One scandal follows the next, and each one revolves around the black sheep of the family.
