I found this page which makes it way worse than I originally thought and way worse than some suspicious accounts here and elsewhere on the Internet are making it out to be.
"The pair were introduced in 2011 and maintained close contact until 2014. Media first reported on the relationship in 2019 in the context of the relationship of then-Prince Andrew and Epstein. In 2026 the newly released Epstein files showed extensive contact between Mette-Marit and Epstein over several years, and that she is mentioned over a thousand times in the released files.[1] The files revealed that Mette-Marit admitted to Epstein that she had googled him and that the results "didn't look good" already in 2011, the year they met, despite previously claiming a lack of knowledge of Epstein's previous conviction for child sexual abuse.[2]"
"She referred to Epstein as "such a sweetheart."[23] On another occasion, Mette-Marit asked Epstein about pictures of "naked women" she wanted to suggest as wallpaper to her then 15-year old son, Marius Borg Høiby.[24] Even as the conversations between Epstein and Mette-Marit had a flirtatious and intimate tone, Epstein made disparaging statements about her behind her back to other people.[22]"

This wikipage was made today. I don’t tend to fully trust brand new wikipages, it needs several eyes on it, to verify sources and so on.
As a lifelong republican (as someone who opposed the monarchy, not a supporter of the GOP) this is the part where I say “I fucking told you so”
I was pointing at Mertha forever, talking about how this was a bullet dodged, and for certain, this would happen to someone actually in line for the throne.
And lo and behold. Could not have happened to a more deserving royal house.
Mette is a mess.
