During the 13th day of a trial in Oslo's District Court, Nora Haukland, the ex-girlfriend of Marius Borg Høiby, testified about a meeting at Skaugum estate where she pleaded with Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Crown Prince Haakon for help with Høiby's issues. Haukland described an emotional breakdown by Høiby and her subsequent plea to the royal couple, urging them to send him to rehabilitation. The couple reportedly responded that it was not her responsibility, but Haukland insisted, suggesting rehab. While Mette-Marit and Haakon later informed her that their son would enter a treatment facility, this plan was not executed, with the reason given being that the facility was occupied by older individuals, making it less appealing for Høiby. The trial also heard Haukland's accounts of alleged violent assaults by Høiby during their 2022-2023 relationship, including being punched and choked multiple times, though Høiby denies the accusations of violence.
