Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway has apologized for newly released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice that reveal her years-long email relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The documents reportedly contain nearly 1,000 mentions of Mette-Marit and show that she exchanged numerous emails with Epstein between 2011 and 2014, including both friendly and private messages. The records also show that she stayed at his Palm Beach home in 2013 while he was away. In a statement, the princess said she had “misjudged” the situation and deeply regretted her contact with Epstein, while expressing sympathy for Epstein’s victims. The royal family stated that she ended her relationship with him in 2014 because she felt he was trying to exploit their relationship.
