Norwegian royals implode with Epstein emails, son re-arrested ahead of his rape trial
Equal justice apparently isn't equal anymore.
The Norwegian Royal Family, just over a month into 2026, is a long way past writing the year off as a annus horribilis.
Sleepovers at sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s residence is not a unique faux pas among European blue bloods these days. Neither is being forced to distance yourself from a rogue family member blabbing to Netflix about their American lover. But add in your son being rearrested on knife charges the weekend before his rape trial, and the royal subjects might begin to lose their patience.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit was forced to offer a tepid apology for her relationship with Epstein, the deceased financial investor and convicted sex trafficker, following the U.S. Department of Justice’s release of exceptionally unflattering emails between the two.

“I showed poor judgment and I deeply regret having had any contact with Epstein,” she wrote. “It is simply embarrassing.”
Mette-Marit’s claim that she should have “investigated Epstein’s background more thoroughly” rings all but hollow considering another email she sent Epstein in 2011, approximately three years after he was convicted for procuring a child for prostitution.
“Googled u after last email,” Mette Marit wrote. “Agree didn’t look too good : ).”
Exchanges show that the crown princess borrowed Epstein’s property in Palm Beach, Florida, for multiple days in 2013, which the palace confirmed to Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
Other emails show banter between the two over the course of several years, such as Mette-Marit asking if it is “inappropriate for a mother to suggest two naked women carrying a surfboard for my 15 yr old son’s wallpaper.”
At another point, she jokes to Epstein — who at the time was on a “wife hunt” in Paris — that the French city is “good for adultery” but that “Scandis [are] better wife material.”
She added: “But then again who am I to talk?”
Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere deferred to the crown princess’s own apology when speaking with reporters on Monday, though suggested …
