Princess Sofia Makes Public Statement After Appearing in the Epstein Files

Princess Sofia Epstein files.

It seems that very few European royal families have managed to escape the Epstein files, as it has been revealed that members of the British, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish royal families all appear in some context. Prince Carl-Philip’s wife, Princess Sofia of Sweden, appears in several e-mails to Jeffrey Epstein, where financier Barbro Ehnbom facilitated contact between then-Sofia Hellqvist and Epstein.

“I met him in a couple of social contexts,” the Swedish princess said to reporters at the Ctrl + Rights Youth Summit in Stockholm. “Now that I have read about the horrific crimes he committed against young women, I am so grateful that I have had nothing to do with him beyond those few occasions in my twenties.” Princess Sofia met Epstein when she was in her early twenties, before her relationship with Prince Carl-Philip. The Swedish palace stresses that Princess Sofia did not interact with Epstein after 2005, at which time she was only twenty one. They met once at Epstein’s office in New York, where she was offered acting lessons and a ticket to Epstein’s island—both opportunities she declined—at a restaurant, and again at a film premiere.
