Norway crown princess to address Epstein links as son's rape trial closes
AI Summary
Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway will address her past contacts with Jeffrey Epstein in a televised interview on Friday, broadcast by NRK TV. The interview, recorded with Crown Prince Haakon, comes as her son Marius Borg Høiby's rape trial nears its end in Oslo District Court. The Crown Princess had previously apologized for "poor judgement" regarding her connection to Epstein after hundreds of emails came to light. The timing of the interview suggests it was scheduled after the trial proceedings concluded. Høiby, who faces multiple charges including rape, assault, drug offenses, and traffic violations, denies the most serious charges. Prosecutors have requested a sentence of over seven years, while his defense argues for an 18-month term for admitted offenses. The verdict is expected in June.
