Norway's royal family is under intense scrutiny as Marius Borg Høiby, son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, faces serious allegations, including rape, in a trial that's making international headlines. Despite denying the charges, Høiby's case stirs a mix of support and criticism from the public and media.
