Nothing passes within the walls of the royal palace in Oslo. For several months, the Norwegian royal family has been in turmoil, shaken by various scandals.
It’s a cold shower in Norway. On Tuesday, we learned about the arrest of Marius Borg Hoiby, the eldest son of Princess Mette-Marit of Norway. The 27-year-old arrested yesterday in Oslo was suspected of rape. In this case, he was suspected of having “sexual intercourse with a person who is unconscious or unable to oppose this act for other reasons,” the police report stated. Police lawyer Andreas Kruszewski has since issued a statement and told the press on Wednesday, November 20, that a second suspicion of rape had arisen during the investigation. Investigators searched and seized the home of the suspect who was in pre-trial detention for a week. “Marius is facing serious charges that the police and the court will have to deal with,” his father-in-law, Crown Prince Haakon, told NRK public television before the arrest. “I’m sure they will do a good job,” he added he from Jamaica where he is traveling.
The son-in-law of Norway’s current heir to the throne, Haakon, was already in the press in early August. Notably, he spent thirty hours in police custody after being accused of assaulting his partner Rebecca Helberg and robbing her apartment on the night of August 4-5.
Violence and drug addiction
In a statement published by Norwegian media NRK:On August 14, Marius Borg Hoiby confirmed it. “Something happened that should never have happened.” “After the fight, I caused physical harm and destruction in the apartment under the influence of alcohol and cocaine,” he admitted, before admitting that he suffers from “mental disorders” and “long-term drug addiction”. He also said that he wants to resume treatment. “The use of drugs and my diagnoses do not justify what happened in the apartment,” he emphasized again. I want to take responsibility for what I have done and I will honestly explain to the police.” Confessions that sound like mea culpa, but which have caused anxiety in the Norwegian royal family. Especially since this is not his first scandal.

The last one concerns the husband of Princess Martha Louise, the American shaman Durek Veret. And for good reason, the man is accused of sexual harassment by his ex-boyfriend and associate, Swede Joakim Bostrom. The latter, indeed, stated in an interview given to the magazine See and hear , at the end of October that the events took place during shamanic medicine sessions.
A shaman with questionable practices
Joakim Bostrom says he met Durek Verret in 2015. At the time, the princess’s current husband was a shaman popular with Hollywood stars including Gwyneth Paltrow and Antonio Banderas, and the two men quickly became friends, Joachim Bostrom in particular was interested in shamanism and Durek Veret’s solar personality.But quickly, the sessions he follows Joakim Bjöström, even though he is married and the father of two children, the Swede feels that Durek Veret is flirting with him… to the point of crossing the line. “He wanted me to wear less and less clothes. Then he said I had some kind of cyst near my penis and asked if he could touch me there,” explains Joakim Boström. See and hear.
He seemed determined to have sex with me
Joachim Bostrom
Despite this incident, the two men continue to keep in touch. Indeed, Joakim Boström is responsible for finding clients for the shaman in Sweden. But a few months later, during a new shamanic treatment session, “He started touching my penis,” recalls the Swede. I reacted violently and shouted. “What are you doing? Do you want me to have an erection before I add it?” “I asked him to stop, but he continued. He seemed determined to have sex with me.”
That day, Joakim Bostrom immediately left the room, vowing to erase the shaman from his life. Nine years later, however, he broke his silence to learn that Durek Veret had married Princess Marta Louise of Norway on August 31. “The fact that he has joined the Norwegian royal family is absolutely crazy, in my opinion, Durek and is looking for a position of strength,” warns Joakim Bostrom.
The tabloid See and hear has since questioned Durek Verrett about the allegations, the American responded through its spokeswoman, Jenny Weinman. “Durek often clears energy through the lymphatic systems in the areas around the armpits and groin,” she explains in a press release sent to the magazine.Because her work involves a variety of healing techniques, including touch, Durek has a legal document that must be signed by all by those who use his services to protect themselves from ill-intentioned people.Another controversy surrounding King Harald V’s new son-in-law, who already widely criticized for its esoteric activities and conspiratorial positions.
A controversial marriage
His marriage to Princess Martha Louise was not criticized. After several postponements, the wedding took place on Saturday, August 31, at a hotel located on the heights of Geiranger, a tourist village at the bottom of a fjord on the west coast of Because “Business is business”exclusive coverage of the ceremony is given to the British magazine Greetings and Netflix. Look at the Norwegian media, which strongly criticizes the union of the “rebel princess” with the American. In addition to their eccentricity, the Scandinavian country criticizes the couple for their penchant for making money due to their supernatural beliefs. Martha Louise even had to give up all her official duties to confirm her engagement in 2022. It is her brother, Prince Haakon, who will one day be called to succeed King Harald. Hoping that stepson Marius will not become a thorn in the side…
