“I deeply regret having had any contact with Epstein. It is simply embarrassing,” she said in a statement issued by the royal palace.
In a new statement on Friday, Mette-Marit apologised again for her friendship with Epstein, who killed himself in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex crimes against minors.
“I would like to express my deep regret for my friendship with Jeffrey Epstein,” she said.
“I also apologise for the situation that I have put the royal family in, especially the King and Queen.”
