Overview
- Speaking to reporters on Feb. 10, Princess Sofia said she met Epstein only a couple of times in social settings in her 20s and has had no contact since.
- The Royal Court said the meetings occurred around 2005 at a restaurant and a film screening and emphasized there was no ongoing relationship.
- Officials rejected reports that Epstein assisted her with acting lessons or a U.S. visa, stating she was never dependent on him.
- Emails published by Dagens Nyheter show businesswoman Barbro Ehnbom introduced Sofia to Epstein in 2005, and Epstein offered to send a ticket to the Caribbean.
- The court said Sofia did not accept the invitation, as the DOJ’s document release continues to draw scrutiny to multiple high-profile figures, including other European royals.
