Princess moves to tears as she finally breaks silence on Epstien connection

Princess Mette-Marit expressed regret and said she was misled about Epstein’s crimes while denying any criminal involvement, amid ongoing public debate in Norway.

  • On Friday, Norwegian public broadcaster NRK released a televised interview in which Crown Princess Mette-Marit addressed a scandal involving her past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, expressing regret and insisting she was "manipulated and deceived."
  • The US Department of Justice released millions of pages earlier this month revealing Jeffrey Epstein's extensive contacts, including hundreds of emails exchanged with Mette-Marit between 2011 and 2014, which heightened public scrutiny of the royal family.
  • Mette-Marit acknowledged she failed to investigate Epstein's background thoroughly and admitted to "poor judgement" in their dealings. Crown Prince Haakon appeared supportive during the broadcast, and she stated she hoped to clarify her involvement while respecting Epstein's victims.
  • Polls indicate many Norwegians found her past ties troubling, with some civic figures calling for accountability, though Norwegian prosecutors are not pursuing criminal charges. Her stepson Marius Borg Høiby faces separate criminal charges in Oslo, further complicating the family's public image.
  • Her admission that she was "manipulated and deceived" has intensified scrutiny of past contacts and is likely to shape broader debate in Norway over ethical standards and vetting practices for senior royals. Mette-Marit acknowledged mistakes and said she aims to prevent further misunderstanding.
