Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit recently offered a tearful explanation for her past relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming she was “manipulated and deceived.” However, a newly released email from 2011, part of the U.S. Justice Department’s release of documents related to Epstein, directly contradicts her defence.
Reuters reported that in an interview with public broadcaster NRK, Mette-Marit expressed deep regret. “Of course, I wish I had never met him,” she said of Epstein, attempting to contain one of the most significant scandals to hit the country’s royal family. She emphasized that she “never seen anything illegal” during their interactions. The crown princess, who is 52, has not been accused of any criminal wrongdoing, but the situation is definitely an awful look for her.
