Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway (born Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby[a] 19 August 1973), is a member of the Norwegian royal family. She has been married to Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway, the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne, since 2001. The couple have two children, Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus. Mette‑Marit also has an older son, Marius Borg Høiby.

Early life, education, and early career

Mette-Marit Tjessem Høiby was born on 19 August 1973 in Kristiansand, Norway.[1][2] She is the daughter of Sven O. Høiby, who had previously worked as a small‑scale advertiser and as a journalist for a local newspaper, and Marit Tjessem, a former bank clerk.[3][4] Her parents later divorced, and both subsequently remarried.[5] She has two older brothers and one sister; her half‑brother, Trond Berntsen, from her mother's 1994 marriage to Rolf Berntsen, was killed in the 2011 Norway attacks.[6] Most of her known ancestors were cotters or small farmers.[7]

Høiby began her upper secondary education at Oddernes Upper Secondary School in Kristiansand. She spent six months as an exchange student at Wangaratta High School in Victoria, Australia, through the organisation Youth For Understanding, before completing her studies at Kristiansand Cathedral School in 1994.[8] She later worked for several months at the Norwegian-British Chamber of Commerce[9] at Norway House in Cockspur Street, London.

As a part‑time student, Høiby took six years to complete her secondary education. She subsequently undertook preparatory courses at Agder College and worked as a waitress at Café Engebret in Oslo.[10]

She has taken a number of university‑level courses.[11] In 2002 and 2003, Høiby attended lectures in development studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.[12] In 2012, she completed a master's degree in executive management at BI Norwegian Business School.[11]

Personal life

During the 1990s, Mette‑Marit was in a relationship with John Ognby, who had been convicted of drug‑related offences.[13][14] Their relationship progressed to the point of purchasing a wedding dress.[15]

From 1997 to 1998, Mette‑Marit lived in Oslo with her son, Marius, and her then‑partner, a disc jockey.[16] From 1998 to 1999, she lived in Kristiansand with her son and another disc jockey with whom she was in a relationship.[16][17]

In the 1990s, she attended the Quart Festival in Kristiansand, where she first met Crown Prince Haakon at a garden party during the festival season. They met again several years later, after she had become a mother.[18]

Marriage and children

Mette-Marit and Haakon announced their engagement in December 2000.[19] Before their wedding, they lived together in Oslo.[20] The engagement attracted significant public debate and media attention.[3] The marriage took place on 25 August 2001 at Oslo Cathedral.[21]

The couple have two children: Princess Ingrid Alexandra (born 21 January 2004), and Prince Sverre Magnus (born 3 December 2005).[22]

Mette‑Marit also has an older son, Marius Borg Høiby (born 13 January 1997), whose father is Morten Borg.[23][24] She and Borg were not in a relationship, and he was serving a prison sentence for drug‑related violent offences at the time of Marius's birth.[15][17]

In 2007, TV2 broadcast the documentary Mette-Marit – vår tids Askepott.[13]

On 18 August 2025, Marius was charged with 32 offences, including allegations of rape and acts of violence against two former partners.[25] Some media outlets claimed that he and his family had received preferential treatment from police,[26] though authorities did not confirm this.[27]

Other reports alleged that Mette‑Marit had warned her son about an impending arrest and interfered with the investigation, but no charges have been filed against her.[27][28][29]

Marius's trial for the August 2025 indictment began on 3 February 2026.[30][31] Shortly beforehand, he was arrested and remanded in custody on additional charges,[32][33] followed in March by further charges of reckless behaviour and violating a restraining order. In total, he faced forty charges, some of which he admitted. The most serious charges carry potential sentences of more than ten years' imprisonment.[34]

Health

In October 2018, Mette-Marit was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis.[35] and said she would receive treatment at Oslo University Hospital.[36] She has also experienced "health challenges on a regular basis", including pneumonia, several instances of norovirus, low blood pressure, falls, concussions, a neck injury, and a herniated disc.[37]

In December 2025, the palace stated that her pulmonary fibrosis had progressed to a stage at which a lung transplant was likely to be required.[38]

On 9 March 2026, it was reported that Mette‑Marit's health had worsened following her most recent public engagement on 28 January, with her condition described as "delicate".[39][40] Her communications manager, Guri Valpe, said there had been "a clear negative development" in her health since December, and that an assessment was underway to determine whether she could receive a lung transplant.[39][41]

On 17 March, Varpe told NRK that her health had "deteriorated" and that she would not take part in the state visit of the King and Queen of Belgium. She was also not listed on the Royal House of Norway's website among those scheduled to meet the Belgian royal couple.[42][43][44] She later appeared with them at the Royal Palace on 24 March.[45]

On 10 April, Mette‑Marit attended a reception for Norwegian athletes who competed at the 2026 Winter Paralympics while using a nasal cannula connected to an oxygen device.[46]

Friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

Epstein's mansion in Palm Beach, where Mette-Marit stayed for several days in 2013.[47] The picture was taken during the police raid on the property in 2005 in connection with the investigation of Epstein for child sexual abuse. The mansion has since been demolished due to its association with child sexual abuse.

Mette-Marit maintained contact with the American convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 2011 and 2014. At the time she entered into a friendship with Epstein, Norwegian media had identified him as a "convicted pedophile".[48] She also helped Epstein connect with young women.[49] In 2019, Norwegian and international media reported that she met him several times between 2011 and 2013, after his 2008 conviction for sex offences involving minors and his release from prison.[50][51][52]

In 2026, Mette‑Marit minimised the extent of her contact with Epstein, saying that he was "responsible for his own actions".[53]

The Royal Palace's communications manager said in late 2025 that Mette‑Marit had ceased contact with Epstein in 2013,[54] a claim contradicted by the 2026 release of the Epstein files.[53][51][55] A poll showed that 45% of Norwegians believed she should not become queen, while 29% supported her becoming queen.[56] As a result of the scandal, she was stripped of her patronage of Sex og Samfunn, a major NGO, and other organisations discussed removing her as patron.[57] In response to ongoing debate over whether she could serve as queen, legal scholar Eivind Smith said it was possible for Haakon to become king without Mette‑Marit becoming queen or holding any public title, even if they remained married, as titles are decided by the monarch.[58] International media have extensively covered scandals involving the Norwegian royal family, linking them to Epstein, rape allegations, and controversy. Experts have said this has damaged Norway's international standing, as the royal family's conduct increasingly undermines its role as a representative of the Norwegian state abroad.[59]

In March 2026, the board of the Norwegian Girls' Choir stated that Mette-Marit's connections to Epstein had caused unrest within the organisation and moved to remove her as patron. The decision is pending a vote by the members.[60]

March 2026 interview

On 19 March, Mette-Marit and her husband gave an interview.[61][62] The topic was her contact with Epstein.[63]

Some of the questions were sent one week[64] in advance to the interviewees,[65] while others were follow-ups during the interview. The broadcaster was free to ask any questions during the allotted 20 minutes;[66] however, the terms of the interview were not finalised until the questions had been sent to the prospective interviewees, which added to the controversy.[64]

Public life

Mette-Marit and Haakon in 2010

In 2000, when the engagement of Mette-Marit and Haakon was announced.[19] Public and media reaction was mixed,[67] and aspects of her background received considerable attention in Norway.[68][69][70] Princess Ragnhild, Mrs. Lorentzen, publicly expressed concern about the match.[71] The couple's eight-month engagement included a period of cohabitation in an Oslo apartment, which drew criticism from some within the Church of Norway.[20] Discussion of Mette-Marit's past continued in Norwegian public discourse for several years after the marriage.[72]

Haakon is the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne.[73] Upon their marriage in 2001, Mette‑Marit became Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Norway.[74]

Early in her public role, Mette‑Marit undertook an internship at the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation.[12] She later became patron of the Norwegian Red Cross and several other organisations.[75][76] In 2010, she was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, and in 2012 she joined the international Foundation Board of the Global Shapers Community.[75]

In 2012, Mette-Marit faced criticism for assisting a Norwegian couple in obtaining surrogacy services in India, as surrogacy is prohibited in Norway. Women's rights groups expressed concern about the ethical implications of commercial surrogacy in developing countries.[77][78]

In 2015, Mette‑Marit and Kate Roberts, a senior vice‑president at Population Services International, established the Maverick Collective. On 26 April 2017, she was appointed ambassador for Norwegian literature in the international arena.[75] Together with Haakon, she also founded the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's Foundation, which supports projects aimed at strengthening youth leadership and social inclusion in Norway.[79]

Public opinion regarding Mette‑Marit has varied over time. A poll conducted by VG in February 2026 reported that 44% of respondents did not wish to see Mette‑Marit become queen, while 32.5% supported the prospect.[80] Earlier media reports in 2025 also described her as relatively unpopular in some surveys.[81][82] [83][84][85][86][87]

In March 2026, ¡Hola! reported that Mette-Marit had returned to public duties shortly after an interview with NRK in which she addressed her past association with Epstein.[88] At the time, she joined the King and Queen and Haakon in welcoming the King and Queen of Belgium to Oslo during a state visit that attracted significant media scrutiny.[89][90][91][92] Prior to this, she had not undertaken official engagements since January, according to media reports.[89][93]

UNAIDS

Mette-Marit became a UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador in 2006, focusing on youth engagement in the global response to HIV and AIDS. She has participated in international conferences, visited several countries to highlight UNAIDS' work,[94] and emphasised the importance of supporting young women and adolescent girls.[95] At the 2014 United Nations General Assembly, she spoke about the impact of stigma and discrimination on efforts to combat HIV and AIDS.[96] During a visit to Mali, she highlighted the opportunities social media provides to empower young people in new areas of advocacy.[95][97] She also opened the Youth Pavilion at the XVIII International AIDS Conference.[98]
