Norway’s Crown Princess apologizes for Epstein email controversy
Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit apologizes again for past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein, admitting poor judgment and deep regret.
Norway – (Web Desk) – Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit is once again in the spotlight, issuing a second public apology for her past connection with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement released by the royal palace, the 52-year-old princess expressed deep regret for the trouble her association has caused the Norwegian royal family.
“I sincerely apologize for the situation I have created for the Royal Family, especially for the King and Queen,” she said, recognizing the wider impact her actions have had on the monarchy.
The controversy stems from recently unsealed US Justice Department documents, which reportedly mention Mette-Marit around 1,000 times among millions of pages.
Their correspondence, spanning 2011 to 2014, shows that she had repeated contact with Epstein, even traveling to meet him in Oslo, New York, and the Caribbean.

Emails included in the documents reveal the Crown Princess did her homework on Epstein online, noting it “didn’t look too good” in one 2011 message but she still described him as “very charming.”
Reflecting on her interactions, the Princess admitted she exercised poor judgment and regrets not being more discerning about Epstein’s background.
“It is simply embarrassing,” she said in her initial statement last week, following the first round of revelations.
