The son of the Norwegian Crown Princess has been sentenced to jail for four years after being found guilty of rape.
Marius Borg Høiby, 29, is eldest child of Mette‑Marit, Crown Princess of Norway.
He became the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon when his mother married the Crown Prince in 2001.
Although he has appeared with the Norwegian Royal Family on several occasions, he holds no royal titles, succession rights, or official public duties.
Borg Høiby has been found guilty of two counts of rape and given four years in prison.
The three judges in courtroom 250 at Oslo District Court cleared him of two other counts of rape.
