Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit Embroiled in Jeffrey Epstein Scandal as New Files Unsealed
A shocking revelation has surfaced in Norway's royal family, with newly unsealed files suggesting that Crown Princess Mette-Marit had extensive contact with late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein over several years. The files, released by the US Justice Department on Friday, contain nearly 1,000 mentions of the princess and reveal a plethora of emails exchanged between the two.
The interactions, which span from 2011 to 2014, were marked by a level of familiarity that belies the gravity of Epstein's crimes. In one email, Mette-Marit gushed over Epstein's charm, calling him "very charming" and asking if it was acceptable for a mother to suggest two naked women as wallpaper for her teenage sons. She also described him as "soft-hearted" and "such a sweetheart," a stark contrast to the abuse allegations that would eventually mar his reputation.
The princess also exchanged flirtatious messages with Epstein, including one where she jokingly asked if it was inappropriate for a mother to suggest two naked women carrying a surfboard for her 15-year-old son's wallpaper. Another email saw Mette-Marit express her gratitude for flowers sent by Epstein when she was feeling unwell, signing off with the affectionate "Love, Mm."
Mette-Marit has since acknowledged that she made poor judgment in having contact with Epstein, stating that she had shown "poor judgment" and deeply regretted it. She expressed sympathy for Epstein's victims and took responsibility for not checking his background more thoroughly.
The revelation comes as the royal family is already reeling from a separate scandal involving Mette-Marit's son, Marius Borg Høiby, who faces 38 charges, including rape and assault, in what could potentially be the most serious trial of its kind. The palace has stated that the royal couple will not attend the trial, citing Mette-Marit's need to take a private trip during that time.
While inclusion in the files does not imply wrongdoing, the connections between the princess and Epstein have raised eyebrows among Norwegian media and the public. As the seven-week trial of Marius Borg Høiby gets underway in Oslo, concerns will likely linger about how such relationships within the royal family came to pass.

That's a lot of trouble for one family. And now this thing with Epstein... it's just too much. I don't think anyone is buying that she had no idea about his past. I wish the palace would be more open about what was going on behind closed doors. It's like they're trying to hide something. 
As a student, I know how hard it is to navigate relationships and friendships when you're in a high-pressure situation. But this is totally different. The royal family is supposed to set an example for everyone else. Now I'm not sure if I can trust them anymore... 
But at the same time, how could you not research someone you've been emailing for years? It's just basic common sense. And now there's this other scandal with her son... it's like the royal family is taking one major hit after another. 
What's going on in Norway?! 
like, who sends a mom a pic of two naked women as wallpaper suggestions?! 
and "Love, Mm" at the end of one email? 
I guess it's clear she made some huge mistakes back then... but you've gotta wonder how those things even got approved in the first place 
. It's crazy enough that Marius is on trial right now too... I just hope he gets the help and support he needs 
]
. The fact that Mette-Marit didn't do her research on Epstein before getting close to him is pretty red flaggy 
. And those emails? Like, girl, get a grip 
! I hope Mette-Marit can just own up to her mistakes and try to move forward without drawing more attention to herself 
. But for real, who sends a naked women wallpaper suggestion via email? 
At any rate, it's definitely a lot to process - wish them all the best, but also some tough conversations ahead. 
it's just weird that there were so many emails and messages between them... did she not do a background check or something? 
It's not just about her own judgment, it's about the impact on her son Marius, who's going through this traumatic trial. How did she not see the red flags? Did she really think Epstein was "soft-hearted" and "such a sweetheart"? 
I feel so bad for the victims of Epstein's abuse too... it's just another example of how powerful people can get away with horrible things because of their connections. 
. And let's not forget that Mette-Marit is showing empathy towards Epstein's victims, which says a lot about her character 
. It's also got everyone talking, right? The media scrutiny might even bring out some positive changes within the royal family 
. So, while this news may seem like a scandal on the surface, it could be the start of something really beautiful 
.
. The fact that her son is in trial too just makes it even crazier 
. The palace saying they won't attend the trial because Mette-Marit needs a break just seems kinda weird 
and she's not even denying having contact with him, just saying she was young & stupid 
meanwhile, her son Marius is facing super serious charges and the whole royal family is basically in crisis mode 
btw, Mette-Marit's been married to King Harald for like 20+ yrs, how many times did she check his background before marrying him? 
I don't think she should be allowed to attend the trial of her son either, considering this whole mess might've influenced him somehow? 
this is so crazy! i mean, crown princess mette-marit having contact with jeffrey epstein over several years? it's like, what was she thinking?! 
come on, mm! you knew what he was capable of! 
So like I'm trying to make sense of this whole thing... Crown Princess Mette-Marit had some pretty intense (imo) emails with Jeffrey Epstein
