Norwegian court keeps crown princess's son in custody despite mother's terminal illness

Crown Princess Mette-Marit faces a life-threatening illness requiring lung transplant; her son remains in custody despite family hardship during her medical crisis.

In Norway, a court of appeals has determined that Marius Borg Høiby — son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, raised within the royal household but not of it — must remain in custody until the verdict in his rape trial is delivered on Monday. The ruling came despite the extraordinary circumstance of his mother's life-threatening pulmonary fibrosis and her recent placement on a lung transplant waiting list. It is a moment that asks an ancient question: whether the weight of private suffering can or should alter the course of public justice.
