THE son of Norway’s Crown Princess has pleaded not guilty to rape charges as he appeared in court on trial for multiple offences.

- BY REBECCA RUSSELL Deputy Royal Editor

Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, is facing 38 charges, including rape, sexual assault and bodily harm, with the newest counts added on Sunday when he was arrested for alleged assault, threats with a knife and violation of a restraining order.

He is the eldest son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit from a previous relationship, and is stepson of the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Haakon. Hoiby has no royal title or official duties.

Hoiby stood for 24 minutes while prosecutor Sturla Henriksbo read out the 38 counts against him at the Oslo district court, asking him if he was pleading guilty.
