Background
Crown Princess Mette-Marit Tjessem Hoiby (born August 19, 1973) is the wife of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and heir presumptive to the Norwegian throne. She serves as a UNAIDS Special Representative and patron of several Norwegian charities. Prior to her 2001 marriage into the royal family, she attracted controversy for her background, which included a relationship with a convicted drug dealer.
In 2026, the release of the Jeffrey Epstein DOJ files revealed that she maintained extensive private contact with Epstein from 2011 through at least 2014, years after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Over 1,000 documents and 471 recovered emails reference the Crown Princess, identified in the files by her official email handle "H.K.H. Kronprinsessen." The revelations triggered the largest royal scandal in modern Nordic history, a parliamentary inquiry, and a debate over the future of the Norwegian monarchy.
Epstein Connection
Mette-Marit was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein through the Davos circuit in January 2011, when physicist Lawrence Krauss told Epstein that "the beautiful young crown princess of norway wishes you were here." Biotech investor Boris Nikolic served as the principal intermediary, describing her to Epstein as "GREAT! Twisted ;) Not a typical royalty." Direct email correspondence began by October 2011 and continued through at least early 2014. The Crown Princess stayed at Epstein's Palm Beach estate for several days in January 2013, reportedly bringing her personal "guru" to the property where Epstein had abused underage girls. Epstein also sought to arrange cosmetic procedures for her. The 471 recovered emails document intimate exchanges including discussions of adultery, naked women, pet names like "sweetheart," confessions about personal relationships, and repeated complaints about the tedium of royal duties. She admitted to Epstein in 2011 that she had googled him and the results "didn't look good," yet maintained the relationship for three more years.
