The Norwegian royal family is facing an unprecedented image crisis. Marina Lacerda, one of Jeffrey Epstein's victims, has publicly condemned Princess Mette-Marit for her long-standing acquaintance with the American sex offender. In an emotional television appearance, Lacerda questioned the princess's empathy, asking how she would react if her own children were victims. The scandal strikes at the foundations of trust in the Scandinavian monarchy, previously considered a model of transparency.

Victim's Emotional Accusation

Marina Lacerda publicly questioned the princess about her maternal instinct in the context of her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein during an appearance on Norwegian television.

Disclosed Correspondence

Documents reveal that hundreds of messages of a very private and intimate nature circulated between the princess and Epstein.

Monarchy's Image Crisis

The royal court is actively intervening with partner organizations to prevent a mass termination of cooperation with Mette-Marit.

Role of Intermediaries

New findings indicate the princess entered Epstein's circle through trusted associates of billionaire Bill Gates.

Norwegian public opinion has been shaken by Marina Lacerda's appearance on the program "Debatten." The woman, who fell victim to Jeffrey Epstein at the age of 14, directed sharp words at Princess Mette-Marit. She accused her, despite being a mother, of maintaining contacts with a man accused of human trafficking and pedophilia. Lacerda described the princess's behavior as "disgusting," emphasizing that the relationship continued even when the world already knew Epstein's dark past. Jeffrey Epstein built a network of contacts in which Mette-Marit reportedly found herself through people associated with Bill Gates. Recently disclosed documents shed new light on the nature of this relationship. Court records reveal hundreds of emails exchanged between the princess and the financier. Their tone is described by the media as surprisingly intimate, and at times even flirtatious. The situation is worsened by the fact that the Norwegian Royal House has taken desperate steps to salvage Mette-Marit's reputation. According to media reports, court officials have contacted organizations partnering with the princess, asking them to refrain from terminating their patronages until the matter is clarified by the princess herself. The monarchy, a symbol of stability in Norway, is now facing its biggest decline in trust in decades. The Norwegian royal family, descended from the House of Glücksburg, traditionally enjoyed support exceeding 75% of society. However, controversies surrounding Mette-Marit, who before her marriage to Crown Prince Haakon in 2001 had to publicly apologize for her turbulent past, regularly resurface in public debate. The crisis affects not only the monarchy but also the country's broader political elite. The Epstein scandal has revealed that other influential Norwegians, including diplomats and politicians, were also in contact with the pedophile. Marina Lacerda, in her appeal, demands clear apologies from the princess and recognition of the victims' suffering, instead of diplomatic evasions. Currently, Princess Mette-Marit is under immense pressure, and commentators predict this case could permanently alter citizens' perception of the crown.
