Mette-Marit's son was warned by the police

The Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit's son Marius Borg Høiby, who has admitted to assaulting his girlfriend, was visited by the police last year for a so-called preventive conversation. It was held, among other things, with reference to the security of the royal house.

The police regularly hold preventive talks with individuals who may find themselves in a criminal environment. The talks are an early preventive measure, says unit manager Frode Larsen at the Oslo police district to the newspaper Aftenposten.

It was deemed necessary since the police have an extended responsibility for the security of the royal family and members of the royal family. The police do not want to go into specific assessments of the reason for the talk or its content.

Marius Borg Høiby has been accused of and admitted to assaulting his girlfriend. He is also being investigated for a number of other crimes, including threats, vandalism, theft of an electric scooter, and assault of two previous partners.

Last week, the 27-year-old was banned from visiting a woman he is suspected of assaulting.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who was on an official visit to Selbu in central Norway on Tuesday, evasively answers questions about her son.

Out of respect for all those involved, I ask for understanding that I do not want to comment on the matter at present, says the Crown Princess to journalists.

Marius Borg Høiby has no royal title and has chosen to live his life outside the spotlight. He is Mette-Marit's son from a previous relationship and has stated in a written statement to the press that he has problems with drugs and alcohol.

At the end of August, he traveled to Italy on the advice of his defense attorney.
