挪威王储妃表示，2013年在佛罗里达州棕榈滩爱泼斯坦的豪宅中，她感到不安全，且被他操纵和欺骗。
与哈康王储结婚的梅特-玛丽特周四接受挪威国家广播公司（NRK）20分钟采访，此次采访虽未爆出重磅猛料，但标志着这对王室夫妇首次接受记者采访，回应王储妃与爱泼斯坦关系引发的风波。尽管她未被指控任何不当行为，但这段关系引发了对其判断力的质疑。
此次采访还恰逢梅特-玛丽特的儿子马吕斯·博尔·霍伊比（Marius Borg Høiby）刑事审判结束的同一天。检察官指控霍伊比强奸，要求判处其七年七个月监禁，而他否认这些指控。霍伊比是梅特-玛丽特与前夫所生的儿子，预计6月初将宣判。

梅特-玛丽特此前已就此事给王室带来的影响致歉。她2011年首次结识爱泼斯坦，双方联系持续至2014年。爱泼斯坦相关文件中多次提及王储妃，她2019年曾表示后悔与他有过接触。
爱泼斯坦2019年在等待美国联邦法院关于其涉嫌在多地性侵未成年女孩的审判期间自杀。梅特-玛丽特告诉NRK，她当时不知道他是性犯罪者和施虐者，只看到他与成年人交往，从未目睹任何违法行为。
她还对NRK表示，对爱泼斯坦的受害者怀有愧疚感，并多年来一直在反思这段关系及针对他的指控。她说自己对没有彻底调查他的背景负有责任。
“当然，我希望从未见过他，”她告诉NRK，”对我来说，重要的是承认自己没有更仔细地了解他的过去，也承认自己在很大程度上被操纵和欺骗了。”
爱泼斯坦文件包含两人间的电子邮件往来，显示这段关系被一些人视为亲密友谊。在一封邮件中，梅特-玛丽特写道：”你触动了我的思维。”
2012年10月，爱泼斯坦写道他在巴黎”寻找妻子”，梅特-玛丽特回复称巴黎”适合通奸”，但”斯堪的纳维亚人是更好的妻子人选”。
另一组邮件显示，2013年梅特-玛丽特通过共同朋友借用了爱泼斯坦在佛罗里达棕榈滩的一处房产住了几天，正是这次访问导致了那次让她感到极度不安全的会面，她随后给家中的哈康打电话求助。
采访中她拒绝详述细节，但表示继续与爱泼斯坦保持联系是因为自己轻信且被操纵。
“我不是值得同情的人，”52岁的王储妃说，”所有遭受这些严重虐待的受害者才应得到公正对待。”
周四的采访因梅特-玛丽特的健康状况受限，她患有肺纤维化，会导致严重呼吸问题。
Norway’s crown princess says she was “manipulated and deceived” by Jeffrey Epstein

Norway’s crown princess said she felt unsafe during a 2013 encounter with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein at his Palm Beach, Florida, mansion and that he manipulated and deceived her.
Mette-Marit, who is married to Crown Prince Haakon, sat down with Norwegian broadcaster NRK for a 20-minute interview on Thursday. It didn’t contain explosive revelations but marked the first time the royal couple sat down with reporters to address the fallout over the crown princess’ ties to Epstein. Their relationship raised questions over her judgment, though she is not accused of any wrongdoing.
The interview also occurred on the same day the criminal trial against Mette-Marit’s son, Marious Borg Høiby, concluded. Prosecutors have sought a prison sentence of seven years and seven months for the charges against Høiby, who denies the rape allegations. He is Mette-Marit’s son from a previous relationship. A verdict is expected in early June.

Mette-Marit has previously apologized for the situation she put the royal family in. She first met Epstein in 2011 and their contact continued into 2014. The Epstein files contained several hundred mentions of the crown princess, who said in 2019 she regretted having had contact with him.
Epstein killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges that he sexually abused underage girls at his homes in the U.S. Mette-Marit told NRK she didn’t know he was a sex offender and abuser; she only saw him interact with adults and never witnessed anything illegal.
She also told NRK she feels a sense of guilt for Epstein’s victims and has spent years processing their relationship and the allegations against him. She said she takes responsibility for not researching his background thoroughly.
“Of course, I wish I had never met him,” she told NRK. “It is extremely important for me to acknowledge that I did not look into his past more carefully, and also to acknowledge that I was manipulated and deceived to such an extent.”
The Epstein files include email exchanges between the two, and show a relationship that some perceived as a close friendship. In one message, Mette-Marit wrote to Epstein, “You tickle my brain.”
In October 2012, Epstein wrote that he was in Paris “on my wife hunt.” Mette-Marit replied that Paris was “good for adultery,” but “Scandis” were “better wife material.”
In another set of messages, the emails showed that Mette-Marit borrowed an Epstein-owned property in Palm Beach, Florida, for several days in 2013. Mette-Marit said the stay was arranged through a mutual friend, and it was this visit that resulted in the encounter that left her feeling so unsafe she called Haakon at home.
She declined to elaborate during the NRK interview, but said she continued her contact with Epstein because she was gullible and had been manipulated.
“I’m not the one to feel sorry for,” the 52-year-old princess said. “It’s all the victims who’ve been subjected to these serious abuses who deserve justice.”
Thursday’s interview was time-limited due to Mette-Marit’s health; she has pulmonary fibrosis, which causes serious breathing problems.
