Norway’s Crown Princess Mette-Marit maintained a close friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for three years after his pedophile conviction, brazenly dismissing red flags she discovered through her own Google search, newly unsealed U.S. Department of Justice documents reveal. Elite Privilege and Willful Blindness Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein exemplifies the disturbing moral bankruptcy of global elites who believe rules apply only to common citizens. The future queen consort of Norway acknowledged in a 2011 email to Epstein that her Google search revealed troubling information about the convicted sex offender, yet she added a smiling emoji and continued cultivating the friendship. This wasn’t ignorance—it was a calculated choice to prioritize personal benefits over basic decency. Her willingness to overlook Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution demonstrates the same elitist mindset Americans have rejected, where powerful figures operate above moral standards they expect others to follow. Palace Cover-Up Compounds Royal Scandal The Norwegian royal palace’s handling of the Epstein connection reveals institutional dishonesty that should alarm anyone who values transparency in public figures. When the relationship first surfaced publicly in 2019, palace officials minimized the contact as limited to 2011-2013 and portrayed a Saint Barthélemy meeting as a chance encounter. The newly released DOJ documents expose these claims as false—contacts continued through 2014, and the Caribbean meeting was prearranged. Palace spokesperson Guri Varpe repeated inaccurate details that misled the Norwegian public for years. This pattern of deception mirrors tactics used by political elites worldwide to shield themselves from accountability, treating citizens as too uninformed to deserve the truth. Monarchy in Crisis Amid Compounding Scandals The Epstein revelations strike Norway’s royal family at its most vulnerable moment, compounding existing turmoil that threatens the institution’s survival. Mette-Marit’s son from a previous relationship, Marius Borg Høiby, faces trial on 38 criminal charges, including rape, beginning just days after the DOJ document release. Royal historian Lars Hovbakke Sørensen declared this the “most severe crisis in Norwegian monarchy history,” warning that insufficient transparency risks destroying public confidence. The scandal fuels republican sentiments in egalitarian Norway, where citizens increasingly question the relevance of hereditary privilege. Even Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre publicly criticized Mette-Marit’s judgment, signaling cross-party concern about the monarchy’s legitimacy when leadership exhibits such profound moral failures. Personal Emails Reveal Disturbing Familiarity The content of Mette-Marit’s communications with Epstein demonstrates a level of comfort that contradicts her post-scandal claims of mere acquaintanceship. A 2012 email shows the princess suggesting wallpaper designs featuring “two naked women” for Epstein’s residence, revealing an intimacy that extended beyond professional networking. She spent four days at his Palm Beach, Florida, property in 2013, arranged through mutual connections despite widespread media coverage of his criminal history. The relationship ended in 2014 when Mette-Marit realized Epstein was using their connection for his own purposes. Court expert Carl-Erik Grimstad noted that “alarm bells should have rung” within palace oversight systems, yet institutional safeguards failed completely, allowing a future queen to maintain ties with a predator. Mette-Marit issued an apology, expressing “deep regret,” and called her contact with Epstein “simply embarrassing,” acknowledging poor judgment and a failure to scrutinize his background despite prior awareness. However, her statement rings hollow given the documented evidence of willful engagement with a known criminal. The scandal exposes how elite circles protect their own while ordinary citizens face consequences for far lesser transgressions. For Americans who endured years of globalist policies that prioritized international elites over national interests, this Norwegian royal debacle confirms what many have long understood: the global elite class operates by different rules, with contempt for the values and safety of regular people they claim to serve.
