The stepson of Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon has been found guilty of two counts of rape, one count of domestic violence and other crimes and is sentenced to four years in prison, an Oslo court ruled on Monday.

Marius Borg Hoiby has been sentenced in the high-profile scandal that has rocked the monarchy.

A Norstat survey out on February 21 - during the trial - showed a fall in the number of Norwegians favouring keeping the monarchy to a record low of 60%, from 70% in January.
