Marius Borg Høiby was found guilty of rape in June and is serving his sentence under house arrest with an ankle tag while awaiting a new trial.

The televised address was filmed inside the Hall of Mirrors at the Royal Palace in Oslo after the death of Haakon's father, Harald V , plunged the nation into mourning last week.

Auch wegen zwei Vergewaltigungen sitzt Marius Borg Høiby im königlichen Hausarrest. Für die Trauerfeiern für seinen Ziehopa König Harald V. darf er aber raus.
