SAPO1 September 2026 at 08:34

The presence of Marius Borg at the funeral of King Harald V of Norway generated a wave of outrage on social media. Marius is the son of Princess Mette-Marit and King Harald, although he was never officially recognized as a prince.

The young man was convicted of rape, which prompted criticism from social media users, who expressed indignation at his presence at such a solemn and formal event as a royal funeral.

The situation sparked a debate about the limits of inclusion and what kind of behavior should prevent someone from participating in official ceremonies of the Norwegian royal family.

King Harald V's funeral marked the end of a reign of over 30 years, being a moment of great importance for the Norwegian nation.

Iran: Saudi supertanker intercepted in Hormuz after incident with military forces

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre confirmed having received reports of an incident involving a tanker and military forces in the Indian Ocean, while another tanker was hit by three unknown projectiles off the coast of Oman.
