Marius Borg Høiby is a relative of the Norwegian royal family, who is accused of being a serial sex offender and charged with violence, abuse and raping several women. He is the son of Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway from her previous brief encounter with convicted felon Morten Borg before she married Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway. Høiby is not a royal himself. While his father was still in prison, he received a lot of media attention as the first step-child in the history of the Norwegian royal family and was widely nicknamed "Little Marius" after a somewhat tragic literary character. He is a commoner and the royal family has stated that "He shall not have a public role and is not a public figure." However, he sometimes participated in family events in the royal family. He has earned a reputation in Norway as entitled and spoiled, with serious behavioral and drug-related problems, and been unfavorably compared to "Lillelord," an entitled literary character. Høiby invited criminal friends to the royal property Skaugum, to what he called "Skaugum festivals", and where drugs were consumed. On 18 November 2024, Høiby was arrested on suspicion of rape and is facing trial. From 20 November 2024, Høiby was a remand prisoner at Hamar Prison. As of 21 November Høiby is accused of raping three women. The Høiby affair, along with scandals involving the King's son-in-law, conspiracy theorist, convicted felon and accused sex offender Durek Verrett, have been cited as reasons for a "decimation of the Norwegian royal family's reputation," leading to debate about democratic constitutional reforms to abolish hereditary positions.

He was accused of exploiting his daughter's relationship with the royal family and of selling articles about her and his grandchild Marius Borg Høiby.
