I'm not well versed in restraining orders and I think the explanations are a little confusing.
The third victim's lawyers says the victim did not want a restraining order, but at the same time she says that the victim had a restraining order issued on advise from her. And the police say that a restraining order was issued because the victim wish that.
From my reading of the articles, the victim's lawyer didn't say the victim did not want the restraining order (though she did say the victim requested it on her (the lawyer's) advice, which corresponds with your theory that the lawyer had to coax the victim), but the lawyer did say that the victim is not the one who reported Marius Borg Høiby for "reckless behavior". However, the report of "reckless behavior" was the basis for the restraining order. It seems it was possible for the victim to request a restraining order on the basis of what somebody else reported to the police about Marius's behavior. (But who was the third party who reported him? The victim's family member?)
Sincerely he should be jailed... But I believe if he got jailed, the image of the Norwegian monarchy would be shattered
At this point, I don't think Marius being jailed would be harmful to the monarchy's image, and potentially would even improve it. It could reassure the public that the royals (technically an ex-royal in this case) cannot rely on the monarchy's powers to escape justice and will be treated equally to any other citizen.
It might even benefit Marius's own image. As Norwegian prisons are known to emphasize rehabilitation and reintegration, a stint in jail may help him to be believed if, afterwards, he says he has reformed.
The third victim has according to Se og Hør still pain in her throat and is still on sick leave. People close to the woman can also state that she has visual disturbances and struggles with "tunnel vision" as a result of the violent incident.
Se og Hør has asked the woman's lawyer Mette Yvonne Larsen if she can say anything about how her client is doing, and if the police have finished questioning her. She hasn't responded.

Aside from the psychological abusiveness, isn't this kind of severe strangulation quite physically dangerous? I am no medical expert, but wouldn't it have been quite possible to accidentally kill or cause brain injury (ETA: and seemingly did, given her vision problems) to his girlfriend in that manner even if that was not the intention?
