Marius Borg, the son of Princess Mette-Marit, has returned home. Before his return to Norway, Borg spent some months in a rehab center in the United Kingdom, prompting a scandal for the Royal Family of Norway. Earlier this week it was announced that Borg had returned home with a new girlfriend.
The news was confirmed by the Norwegian outlet "Se og Hor," which had photographs of Borg's return. The images show him arriving at the Gardermoen airport in Oslo equipped luggage, coming from a plane that departed from London. "Alongside him, there was a young woman with whom he'd spent some time while he stayed at the British capital," reports the outlet, as per our sister website HOLA! Spain.
The Norwegian outlet confirms that Borg and the young woman have been in contact since before his departure to the UK. He traveled to London last August, starting a rehab program that began a few months later.
The photos of Borg at the airport show him sporting his normal look. Before his departure to the UK, Borg had dyed his hair black and grown a mustache, with many outlets believing that he was trying to pass through the airport as anonymously as possible.
It's unknown if Borg is back in Norway for good, or if he was visiting home to celebrate his 28th birthday. His birthday was this past January 13th.
