OSLO: Doubts emerged today over whether the son of Norway’s crown princess would testify as planned in his trial, where he is facing charges of allegedly raping four women.
Marius Borg Hoiby, Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s 29-year-old son from a relationship prior to her 2001 marriage to Crown Prince Haakon, is due to testify today at 12pm in Oslo’s district court.
On the opening day of the trial on Tuesday, he appeared nervous and agitated, fidgeting with his hands and legs as he appeared in court to face 38 charges in all, including four alleged rapes and assaults against ex-girlfriends.
