Norway PM Says Crown Princess Showed ‘Poor Judgment’ in Epstein Association
Norway’s Prime Minister has acknowledged that Crown Princess Mette-Marit exercised poor judgment in her past association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, amid renewed public scrutiny.
Norway’s Prime Minister has agreed that Crown Princess Mette-Marit demonstrated “poor judgment” in relation to her past connections with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as questions resurface over the royal family’s links to the late controversial figure.
Speaking amid growing public debate, the Prime Minister stressed that while the meetings occurred years ago and before the full scale of Epstein’s crimes became widely known, the association was nonetheless inappropriate in hindsight. The remarks come after media reports revisited Epstein’s network of high-profile contacts, reigniting concerns about accountability and transparency among public figures.
The Norwegian royal household has previously stated that the Crown Princess deeply regrets the meetings and would not have engaged with Epstein had she been aware of his criminal background at the time. Officials have emphasized that the interactions were limited and carried no political or institutional implications.
The issue has sparked broader discussion in Norway about ethical judgment, due diligence, and the responsibilities that come with public roles. While the government has made it clear that the matter does not affect the Crown Princess’s current duties, the Prime Minister’s comments underline the importance of caution when engaging with influential individuals, particularly those operating within elite international circles.
