Overview
- - The royal court said the private email account Mette-Marit used 12–15 years ago no longer exists, leaving many messages gone and limiting what she can retrieve or verify.
- - The address was a personal broadpark.no account tied to provider NextGenTel, and its password was listed in a 2012 Dropbox breach tracked by Have I Been Pwned, which helps explain why records are incomplete.
- - NRK confirmed it removed three of her recorded answers from the televised interview, including her line about having seen Jeffrey Epstein “blackmail others,” saying it chose responses that fit the TV format while publishing the quote online.
- - Media analysis found she did not answer about a third of 32 questions, and critics faulted NRK for sending the palace its questions a week in advance, a step the broadcaster said was meant to secure clear answers.
- - Mette-Marit made a brief, unannounced appearance at the Belgian state visit’s audience but skipped the evening banquet because of worsening lung disease, as a new interviewee, Svetlana Pozhidaeva, told VG she met the crown princess with Epstein in 2013 on St. Barths and in Palm Beach.
