Marius Borg Hoiby, 29, the son of former Norwegian princess Mette‑Marit, was charged with 40 offenses ranging from rape and domestic abuse to traffic violations. He was found guilty of two rape convictions and other crimes, while two other rape allegations were dismissed; prosecutors sought a sentence of roughly seven and a half years, but he received a four‑year term.

    2. It was ... a perfect crisis for the royal family because they had two crises at the same time. And they had a lot of (criticism) for the way they handled the Epstein files.
  5. NO

    1. And that manifested itself in a lot of sex, a lot of drugs, and a lot of alcohol.
    2. I'm mostly known as my mother's son, not anything else. So I've had an extreme need for recognition my whole life.
