Crown Princess breaks silence on ‘manipulated’ meetings with billionaire beast
By SCM Reporter
NORWAY’S Crown Princess Mette-Marit has sensationally claimed she was “manipulated and deceived” by pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In an explosive television interview, the future Queen admitted to meeting the disgraced billionaire on several occasions between 2011 and 2013—years after he had already been convicted of sex crimes.
Speaking to national broadcaster NRK, a somber Mette-Marit, 52, expressed deep remorse for the association that has sent shockwaves through the Norwegian Royal Family.
Despite the mounting allegations that later emerged against Epstein, the Crown Princess insisted she remained in the dark during their encounters.
”I never witnessed anything illegal or of the nature that later came to light,” she told interviewers.
The Princess claimed she viewed the American financier as a wealthy socialite and philanthropist, unaware of the “monstrous” reality of his private life. She added that she felt “fooled” by Epstein’s ability to weave himself into the highest echelons of global power.
Pressure is now mounting on the Palace as Mette-Marit admitted the introduction was made through a high-profile “mutual friend”—but she has categorically refused to name the mystery fixer.
Speculation is reaching fever pitch across Europe as to who bridged the gap between the Oslo royals and Epstein’s infamous Manhattan townhouse. While the Princess is desperate to draw a line under the scandal, her silence on the identity of the middleman has sparked calls for greater transparency.
The Norwegian Royal Family has faced intense scrutiny over their ties to Epstein, particularly given the timing of the meetings.
2008: Epstein is convicted of procuring an underage girl for prostitution in Florida.
2011-2013: Crown Princess Mette-Marit meets Epstein socially in the US and Norway.
2019: Following Epstein’s arrest and subsequent death in a New York jail, the Princess issues her first public apology for the “unfortunate” association.
The scandal mirrors the fallout experienced by the British Royal Family regarding Prince Andrew’s friendship with the financier. However, unlike the Duke of York, Mette-Marit has proactively sought to address the public, claiming she is a victim of Epstein’s “calculated” social climbing.
