Royal Scandal: Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s Son Faces Violence and Rape Charges
Enet
Norway has been thrown into shock as the 28-year-old son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit faces grave criminal charges involving sexual assault and physical violence against women.
Prosecutors on Monday confirmed that the young royal has been formally charged with raping four women and committing several violent acts. If convicted, he could face a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
Authorities revealed that investigations have been ongoing for months, with testimonies and evidence strong enough to bring the case to trial. The accused is expected to appear in court later this year.
While the Norwegian royal family has remained silent on the matter, the case has ignited heated conversations across the country. Women’s rights groups have demanded full transparency in the judicial process, insisting that the royal status of the accused should not interfere with justice.
The scandal has placed Norway’s monarchy under intense scrutiny, with observers noting that the case could become one of the most high-profile trials in recent European royal history.
What Happens Next?
Legal experts say the court proceedings will not only test Norway’s justice system but also challenge the royal family’s public image. The accused’s identity has not been fully disclosed, in line with privacy laws, but the seriousness of the allegations has already cast a shadow over the monarchy.
