New documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files reveal that Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit had contacts with Epstein beyond what was previously known, with claims that she was once pregnant by him. The foreign press notes that Mette-Marit's name appears multiple times in the files, which is not an accusation of wrongdoing but a development that reignites discussions about the transparency of the monarchy.
The millions of pages of Jeffrey Epstein files made public in the U.S. have brought the relationship between Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit and Epstein back into the spotlight of the foreign press. While the Crown Princess's name appears hundreds, if not thousands, of times in the files, new documents reveal a much more extensive network of contacts than previously disclosed.
PERSISTED IN MEETING
According to analyses from Norwegian and international media, Mette-Marit’s social relationship with Epstein first came to light in 2019. At that time, the Norwegian press reported that the princess had met with Epstein several times between 2011 and 2013, and that the contact continued despite her knowing that Epstein had already been convicted of sexual offenses against minors in 2008. In a later statement, the princess expressed regret, admitting that she did not know about Epstein's criminal history and that she should not have maintained the relationship.
THEIR INTIMACIES IN DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS THAN EXPECTED
However, new files published in 2026 indicate that Mette-Marit’s contact with Epstein went beyond what was known in the press. The documents reveal that the Crown Princess was involved in hundreds of email exchanges with Epstein, visited his home in Palm Beach, and was a guest for at least four days. Among the emails, there are more personal tones, plans for meetings, shopping, and social conversations. Some messages even contain claims that Mette-Marit was once pregnant by Epstein. Some communications also include Epstein's offers and messages directed at Mette-Marit.
WILL CAUSE SERIOUS TURMOIL IN THE COUNTRY
Analyses published in Norwegian and Spanish media point out that these new records reveal that the Crown Princess was in a longer and more intimate relationship than she previously disclosed to the public. Foreign press comments emphasize that this situation poses sensitivity for the image of the Norwegian monarchy; the public expects more transparent explanations from leading figures.
In her statement released in 2019, the princess said that her contact with Epstein had ended and expressed regret, stating that she would never have maintained the relationship had she known the seriousness of the crimes. At that time, the Norwegian Royal Palace stated that the meetings occurred through a few encounters and a shared social circle, and that the situation should not be misunderstood.
NEWLY RELEASED DOCUMENTS SPARKED AGENDA
The newly released documents not only include Mette-Marit but also other international figures connected to Epstein. The materials mention names such as former U.S. Presidents and British royal family members, which brings Epstein's ties to global elite circles back into focus. Experts and foreign press comments indicate that these records do not constitute criminal allegations or direct evidence of crimes; however, they provide significant clues about the scope and nature of social relationships established with influential individuals. Additionally, it is noted that discussions regarding oversight and reputation management within the monarchy have reignited in Norwegian public opinion.
