“Ari was an important part of our family for many years, and we carry warm and good memories of him with us,” the Royal House of Norway said in the very same press release.

Martha Louise, is the eldest child at age 48, of King Harald and Queen Sonja and is fourth in line to step up to the throne.

Ari Behn came to light in 2017 when he accused Kevin Spacey of groping him under a table at the Nobel peace prize concert back in 2007. However, Spacey never commented on the matter. Various individuals came out with accusations against him and attacked him for his behaviour and ways of advancement. The Oscar and Emmy winner has been accused of sexual misconduct on several occasions but he has never come around to acknowledge it or comment on it to date.
