The Norwegian monarchy is faced with one of her most turbulent periods while Princess Mette-Marit finds herself in the center of a growing scandal involving her eldest son, Marius Borg.
The allegations of Marius Borg and the alleged concealment of Mette-Marit
Marius Borg, the son of Princess Mette-Marit with a previous relationship, has long been known for his controversial lifestyle, but recent accusations have made concerns.
According to the Spanish journalist Pilar Eyre, a mother of one of the alleged victims of Marius, contacted Princess Mette-Marit, looking for her intervention on the evil that her daughter suffered. However, Eyre claims that the princess ignored the plea, which made her an accomplice to cover the actions of her son.
The journalist also alleges that Mette-Marit spent years protecting Marius from the public exam, trying to hide his excesses, his wild parties and his doubtful behaviors to protect his reputation. These revelations, if confirmed, could seriously damage its position within the Norwegian royal family and cause legal consequences.
Editing pressure on Princess Mette-Marit
Princess Mette-Marit, who has already been criticized on her past before joining the royal family, is now found in an increasingly vulnerable position. The controversy could have serious ramifications for its public image, as well as its future role within the monarchy.
Meanwhile, the Norwegian royal family strives to contain the benefits, the public looking closely how to take place the situation. If other evidence of Mette-Marit’s participation in the shielding of her emerging son, this could considerably compromise the confidence placed in the monarchy.
A royal family already under pressure
The latter controversy comes at a difficult time for the Norwegian royal family, while King Harald V continues to fight against health problems, and Crown Prince Haakon tries to maintain stability in the midst of an audience.
With imminent legal and reputation risks, the future of Mette-Marit in the royal house is now at stake. The scandal has triggered a debate on a national level, and the coming weeks could prove to be essential to determine if the princess can resist the storm or if this controversy marks a turning point in her royal career.
