So, how did Mette-Marit and Epstein even meet in the first place? Well, it turns out they were introduced by a mutual friend (who's probably getting a stern talking-to right about now). Apparently, Epstein was a huge fan of the royal family and was thrilled to meet the Crown Princess. Who wouldn't be, right? I mean, she's royalty, for crying out loud! But little did Mette-Marit know, she was about to become embroiled in a major scandal.
Now, we know what you're thinking: "What was Mette-Marit thinking, hanging out with this guy?" And honestly, we're all thinking the same thing. But in her defense, she didn't know about his shady dealings at the time. She's since said that she regrets ever meeting him, which is pretty understandable. I mean, who wouldn't regret meeting a convicted sex offender?
