Mette-Marit Opens Up on Epstein Ties

0:00In Canada, it's March 20, here's what is happening. Norway's Crown Princess Met Marit has opened up about feeling manipulated and unsafe during a visit to Jeffrey Epstein's Palm Beach mansion back in 2013. In a recent interview with her husband, Crown Prince Haokon, she described how the late sex offender deceived her, marking the first time the royals, had publicly addressed her past ties to him. The couple spoke to Norwegian broadcaster NRK on Thursday. The same day Met Marit's son from a previous relationship, Marius Borghojbi, wrapped up. His criminal trial. Prosecutors are pushing for a prison term of seven years and seven months on rate charges, which he denies with a verdict due in early June. Met Marie has faced questions about her judgment over the Epstein connection, though she's cleared of any wrongdoing. She's previously apologized for the embarrassment to her family and expressed guilt toward his victims, saying she wishes she'd checked his background, more carefully. Their contacts ran from 2011 to 2014, with Epstein files mentioning her hundreds of times,

The interview stayed short because of Met Marie's pulmonary fibrosis, which affects her breathing, but it shows she's still processing the fallout, as her family navigates these challenges ahead.
