The silence from Prince William’s Kensington Palace office is deafening as Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon’s son, Marius Borg Høiby, remains in custody awaiting a rape verdict. For the working families of Britain, this isn’t just about royalty. It’s about justice and the cost of privilege.
While the Palace refuses to comment, the Norwegian royal family is under intense scrutiny. Marius, the stepson of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, has been held since last week on charges of rape against a young woman. The case has shaken Norway’s monarchy and raised questions about how the wealthy and powerful are treated differently from the rest of us.
In Manchester, where union members rally for fair wages, this feels like a stark reminder that the law is not equal for all. As the verdict looms, the silence from London is a sign that even the highest offices are wary of wading into this scandal. But for those facing soaring bills and stagnant pay, the story is a bitter pill: another reminder that justice often depends on who you know, not what you do.
