Cape Verde fans celebrate historic 0-0 draw against Spain in World Cup debut

Marius Borg Høiby, 29, the son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette‑Marit, was found guilty of two counts of rape by Oslo District Court and penalised with a four‑year prison term. The verdict cleared him of two other rape allegations but left him convicted on numerous other offences. Høiby’s case has drawn public attention to the royal family’s reputation and Norway’s broader approach to sexual violence, while spotlighting the president’s ill health and a controversial past link to Jeffrey Epstein.
