Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit has said that she wishes she had never met late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit publicly discussed her connection to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for the first time in a 20-minute interview with Norwegian broadcaster NRK. She expressed regret over her interactions with Epstein between 2011 and 2014, stating that she was manipulated and did not know about his criminal behavior. Mette-Marit revealed she felt unsafe during a 2013 visit to Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion and continued contact out of gullibility. She acknowledged her failure to research Epstein’s background and expressed guilt for his victims.
I et intervju med NRK forsøkte kronprinsesse Mette-Marit å forklare sin tidligere kontakt med den dømte seksualforbryteren Jeffrey Epstein, men mange sentrale spørsmål forblir ubesvarte. Hun oppga at hun ikke husker detaljene rundt en tidligere googling av Epstein, og ville ikke si hvem som introduserte dem, med henvisning til ønsket om å bevare sin integritet. Det er også uklarheter rundt en planlagt handletur med Epstein i 2013, tannbehandling betalt av ukjent person, og omfanget av deres kontakt – som ifølge dokumentasjon varte minst til sommeren 2014, i motsetning til tidligere oppgitt sluttdato.
La princesa heredera Mette-Marit de Noruega ha concedido finalmente una entrevista a la cadena pública NRK para abordar su controvertida relación con Jeffrey Epstein, tras verse implicada en los documentos judiciales estadounidenses que revelaron una amistad cercana entre ambos entre 2011 y 2014. Esta relación incluyó visitas a la residencia de Epstein en Florida, reuniones en St. Barts y una presentación del príncipe Haakon al delincuente sexual. La entrevista, grabada en Skaugum y que se emitirá próximamente, marca un intento de Mette-Marit de afrontar públicamente sus vínculos con Epstein, después de haber sido acusada de mentir sobre la naturaleza e intensidad de su relación.
