This is not the first time Marius—who is not in the line of succession to Norway’s throne and does not have a public-facing role in the royal family—has been involved in legal proceedings. He was also arrested in August, leading his mother to postpone her 2024 Paris Olympics appearance.
At the time, he was arrested for an incident involving a woman in her 20s, according to Norwegian outlet Se og Hør (per People). The woman was treated for a concussion at the hospital after Marius allegedly “attacked her psychologically and physically.”
Police told the Norwegian outlet that Marius was arrested and accused of inflicting “bodily harm” to the woman with whom he was in a relationship with at the time, per The Guardian.
And in September, Marius was arrested again for allegedly violating his restraining order, police said per The Guardian.
Police shared in their statement on Nov. 18 that Marius was in the car with the alleged victim of the August incident at the time of his arrest.
