That is why news mentions the charge against Marius Borg Høiby The press must be careful when using names and images of people involved in criminal cases, and this particularly applies at an early stage of the case. This appears from the press’s ethical regulations, the Be Careful poster. We have chosen to mention that Marius Borg Høiby has been charged with bodily harm and damage. He is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Borg Høiby is a member of the royal family, but has no official role in the royal household. He has a right to protection of his privacy. As a member of the royal house, the crown princess has a very special role and position in Norwegian society, and we believe that there is a legitimate need for information for the public to know that her son has been charged with bodily harm and damage. The case has also affected the crown princess’s performance of official duties. Being charged with violence is a serious matter. It is important to emphasize that Marius Borg Høiby has only been charged, and that it is not known how he responds to the charge. Published 21.08.2024, at 16.57 Updated 21.08.2024, at 17.21
