Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit has spoken publicly for the first time following renewed scrutiny over her past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, saying she felt 'manipulated and deceived' by the late US financier. The remarks come amid pressure on the Norwegian royal family after newly released Epstein-related files brought details of their past contact back into public focus.
In a televised interview with NRK, the Crown Princess expressed deep regret over her association with Epstein, stating she wished she had never met him. The interview marks her first extended comments in weeks, following growing political and public pressure to address the revelations.
