Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit apologised again on Friday for her friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, one of several scandals to hit the Nordic country's monarchy.
"I also apologise for the situation that I have put the royal family in, especially the King and
Queen," Mette-Marit said in a statement released by the royal palace. New files related to Epstein published by the U.S.
Justice Department last week included extensive email correspondence between Mette-Marit and Epstein after he was found guilty of child sex crimes in 2008.
