New facts about the son of the Queen of Norway. The court changes the decision on dismissal

On Wednesday, a Norwegian appeals court ruled that 29-year-old Marius Borg Høiby, Queen Mette-Marit's son from her previous relationship, will not leave the royal residence near Oslo, where he is staying with an electronic bracelet on his leg. This decision was made unanimously, after the prosecutor's office appealed against the earlier decision of the first-instance court, which allowed Høiby to be released conditionally.

On Monday, a lower court agreed to release the convict on condition that he regularly reports to the police, undergoes alcohol and drug tests and continues treatment.

However, the prosecutor's office appealed against this decision, citing a recent test that showed the presence of alcohol in the body of the queen's son, despite the ban on drinking alcohol.

The appeals court found that the key issue was the risk of Høiby returning to substance use after his possible release.
