Norway’s crown princess has apologised to those she has “disappointed” following days of scrutiny of her contacts with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s communications and contacts with Epstein have put her in the spotlight in recent days, adding to the embarrassment to the royals as her son went to trial this week for multiple offences, including charges of rape.
