Marius Borg Høiby, the eldest son of Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been released after his arrest last week on rape allegations, according to his lawyer.

On Nov. 19, Crown Prince Haakon spoke about the arrest of his stepson, 27, the day prior. Crown Prince Haakon is Marius' stepfather through his marriage to Crown Princess Mette-Marit. Mette-Marit welcomed her son Marius during a relationship that preceded her 2001 marriage to Haakon, and Marius does not have a royal role within the monarchy.

Earlier this week, Princess Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, was arrested on rape allegations. Though his mother is married to Crown Prince Haakon, Høiby is not a member of the Norwegian royal family. Still, he was raised alongside his step-siblings, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus.

The 27-year-old son of Norway’s crown princess has been accused of a second rape just days after he was arrested on suspicion of the same offense.

Marius Borg Hoiby, the stepson of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway, was arrested on Monday. His lawyer denied the accusation and said his client was cooperating with the authorities.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway's son will be held in prison for up to a week while police investigate allegations of rape made against him, an Olso court ruled on Wednesday night. Marius Borg Hoiby, 27, was arrested on Monday night on suspicion of rape, marking the third time he has been arrested since August.

Norwegian police said Tuesday that the 27-year-old son of Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit had been arrested on suspicion of rape.
