– After PST was informed by the Oslo police district that Marius Borg Høiby had been involved in an incident on the night of 4 August, PST routinely notified the Royal Court (DKH) for security reasons. In the dialogue with DKH, information was given about the incident, but no information was given by PST about a possible arrest, says Director of Communications Trond Hugubakken in the Police Security Service (PST) to NTB.
Two other police institutions, the Oslo police district and the Norwegian Police Directorate (POD), reject the opposite NRK that they are behind the notification.
The palace further notified the crown prince couple after hearing about arrest plans from the police, according to the Royal Court. Crown Princess Mette-Marit must then have notified her son and cleaned his apartment, according to information to several media outlets.
The question of why the Palace found out about plans to arrest Borg Høiby, who is charged with violence, and who notified them, still remains unanswered, writes NRK.
Press chief Unni T. Grøndal in the Oslo Police District writes in an email to NRK that they did not notify the Royal Court. In contrast, the Oslo police notified the bodyguard service to PST and the situation center in the Police Directorate.
The Norwegian Police Directorate (POD) notified further internally, but was never in contact with the crown prince couple or the Royal Court.
– No, POD did not notify the Palace or the crown prince couple, replies section head Jørn Schjelderup in POD to NRK’s question.
The police later notified Borg Høiby that he would be arrested. It was agreed to meet at Jansløkka school where he was arrested after a violent incident in an apartment on Frogner in Oslo the evening before. The arrest did not take place in Høiby’s apartment in Skaugum, and the apartment was never searched.

**Interview with Security Expert on Marius Borg Høiby Incident**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today. We’re discussing the recent incident involving Marius Borg Høiby, who has been accused of assaulting a woman. Can you provide some context on this situation?
**Expert:** Certainly. Marius Borg Høiby, who is known as a member of the Norwegian royal family, was reportedly involved in a physical altercation that occurred on the night of August 4th. The police received a call from a woman in her 20s, leading to an investigation into the incident. This raises concerns regarding the implications for both Høiby and the royal family, especially considering the nature of the allegations.
**Interviewer:** It was mentioned that the Police Security Service (PST) informed the Royal Court about the incident. What does that process typically involve?
**Expert:** When an individual associated with the royal family is involved in a public incident, the PST has a responsibility to ensure the safety and security of the royal members. In this case, they alerted the Royal Court to keep them informed. However, PST typically does not disclose details about potential arrests or ongoing investigations to maintain the integrity of law enforcement procedures.
**Interviewer:** If convicted, what are the potential consequences Høiby could face?
**Expert:** If Høiby is convicted of assault, he could face serious legal consequences, including jail time. The specifics would depend on the severity of the charges and any previous legal issues. Given his royal status, the case is not just a legal matter but also a public relations challenge for the royal family.
**Interviewer:** This incident has certainly attracted a lot of media attention. How might this impact the perception of the royal family moving forward?
**Expert:** Incidents like these can significantly affect public perceptions of a royal family, especially if they draw negative attention. The royal family often embodies values of decorum and responsibility, so any behavior that contradicts that can lead to public scrutiny and potentially diminish their reputation. The family will likely need to address the situation thoughtfully to maintain their standing.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for sharing your insights. This is certainly a developing story, and we’ll keep an eye on any updates regarding the case.
**Expert:** Thank you for having me. It’s an important topic, and I agree that monitoring its developments will be crucial for understanding the future implications for the royal family.
