Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit has told the country's national broadcaster that she wishes she had never met late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, breaking seven weeks of silence after the extent of her contact with him emerged.
Mette-Marit made the comments in a 20-minute interview in which she was often on the verge of tears.
Seven weeks ago, Norwegians discovered that the crown princess had exchanged hundreds of emails with the disgraced financier between 2011 and 2014, and stayed in his Florida house when he was not there.
