The 27-year-old son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit was taken into custody on Saturday, according to Norwegian police, and the arrest was made after he disobeyed a restraining order, according to the local media.
Before Mette-Marit married Crown Prince Haakon in 2001—the heir apparent to the Norwegian throne—her son Marius Borg Hoiby was born in 1997.
In a statement on Saturday, police confirmed his arrest but gave no further information.
Several Norwegian media outlets reported that Hoiby had been arrested for violating a restraining order.
Hoiby was previously taken into custody on August 4 after a fight broke out at an Oslo apartment late at night.
He has been charged with hurting a woman he was seeing and causing her bodily harm.
Police reportedly discovered a knife lodged in one of the apartment’s walls in the woman’s bedroom. This information was reported by the Norwegian media.
Unlike his step-siblings, 18-year-old Prince Sverre Magnus and 20-year-old Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Hoiby was raised by Mette-Marit and Haakon, but he does not hold an official position in the public eye.

Police on Saturday confirmed his arrest in a statement, without providing any more details.
Several Norwegian media outlets reported that Hoiby had been arrested for violating a restraining order.
Hoiby was previously arrested on August 4 following a night-time row at an apartment in Oslo.
