Monday, November 9, 2026 - A disturbing security incident at Norway’s royal estate has drawn fresh attention after an unidentified man reportedly forced his way into Marius Borg Høiby’s residence at Skaugum and pushed him. The incident happened during the night of Thursday into Friday, November 6, 2026.
According to Norwegian media reports, the intruder allegedly banged and kicked on the door before entering the property. Høiby reportedly managed to get the man outside and alerted security personnel, who responded within minutes. His lawyer confirmed that Høiby was shaken by the experience but was not physically injured.
The Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) confirmed that a person had been detained near Høiby's residence following the incident. However, the police initially released the man without making an arrest. On Sunday, November 8, authorities announced a change in their position, confirming that a criminal investigation would be opened over suspected unlawful entry and physical assault.
Police also indicated that they wanted to question both Høiby and the man involved. The development has raised renewed questions about security arrangements at Skaugum, particularly because the property is close to the main royal residence where King Harald's family members are based.
The incident comes as Høiby continues to face significant legal challenges while living under electronic monitoring at Skaugum. His ongoing legal proceedings have already attracted widespread public attention, making this latest security breach another major development surrounding his personal circumstances.
His legal representative has described the intrusion as frightening and emphasized that everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home. As investigators work to establish exactly what happened and why the man entered the property, attention is now turning to the outcome of the police investigation and whether additional security measures will follow.
