Quote from: Curryong on December 28, 2024, 10:35:50 PMThe Crown Prince couple have said the least they can under the circumstances. Don't know whether they will still be questioned by the police. The elderly King Harald was diplomatic and empathetic as usual. However there is no getting away from the fact that whole Marius scandal, plus the antics of Prss M-L and her shaman, has seriously dented the popularity of the Norwegian monarchy with its people to the extent that CP Haakon, who could in theory, be monarch at any moment given his father's health, is seriously unpopular along with his wife. Tough love should have been used with Marius years ago. As it is, there's the delightful prospect of his criminal trial in 2025. I think the swipe of CPss Mette Marit at media pressure was unnecessary. I'm the last to defend media but did M-M expect the Norwegian and world's Press to ignore Hoiby's behaviour and how it has impacted the crown? Ridiculous.

Good thoughts, Curryong. I agree. The whole Marius scandal seems unnecessary. The parents and the step-parent of such a troubled child could not find or use any resources, of which many were at their disposal, to help Marius improve in terms of his mental health. I find it hard to believe. How does the stepson of a King end up in criminal court? Other parents have done better with much less in similar circumstances. The Shaman episode is equally disturbing. I am not supposed the Crown is struggling in terms of popularity. I wonder when the King will abdicate. It's painful to watch an ailing King move through his duties.
