Crown Princess Mette-Marit's birthday fell on the day after major news for her family. On Aug. 18, Norway's state prosecutor charged her son Marius with 32 crimes, including one count of rape with sexual intercourse and three counts of rape without intercourse, CBS and Reuters reported.

Marius Borg Hoiby, the 28-year-old stepson of the heir to the throne, faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Hoiby denies all charges of sexual abuse, his attorney said.

Norwegian prosecutors on Monday announced that they have indicted the eldest son of Norway’s crown princess on multiple charges including rape after a lengthy investigation.
