Norway’s crown princess has become embroiled in another scandal after newly unsealed files appeared to show her years of extensive contact with the late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The latest tranche of Epstein files, released on Friday by the US justice department, appear to include nearly 1,000 mentions of the crown princess, Mette-Marit.
The files include scores of emails traded between the two, suggesting they were in contact from 2011 to 2014, the Norwegian daily VG reported. Mette-Marit married the future king of Norway in 2001.
The revelations come at a sensitive time for the royal family. The trial of Mette-Marit’s son, Marius Borg Høiby for rape is due to begin on Tuesday. He was born from a relationship before she married Crown Prince Haakon
Høiby is facing 38 charges, including the alleged rape of four women as well as alleged assault and drug offences. If convicted he could face up to 16 years in prison. Høiby has denied the most serious charges, including those of sexual abuse.
Guillotine the educated king and the drunk president as far as I’m concerned. If the king’s really so smart he’ll renounce his title when the guillotine comes out and the bloodshed can be avoided, so it’s a win all around.
I’m sure there are great solution that work in fantasyland. Here, in the real world, we have to work with what we have and in my experience, a King with little actual power works better than politically nominated president.
Today’s liberals are so deep in the “end of history” bullshit that they actually believe the very concept of a revolution is “fantasyland”
I couldn’t have satirized your position better if I’d tried.
It’s not the concept of revolution that’s “fantasyland”. It’s the idea that in Europe we will guillotine democratically elected presidents and constitutionally established monarchs. If that’s you plan for changing the system: good luck! Here in reality we simply realize that this is not going to happen and if it did, it woult not result in a system that’s better for anyone.
