Royal family spokesperson responds to claims about Princess Sofia, Jeffrey Epstein meeting

A spokesperson for the Royal Court of Sweden has reacted to the reports regarding Princess Sofia and Jeffrey Epstein ties after the newly surfaced emails show Epstein invited the royal to his Caribbean island in 2005.

Speaking to the Fox News Digital, the spokesperson said, "The recent media reporting regarding Princess Sofia has given rise to speculation about the Princess and her alleged relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

"The Royal Court has responded to questions from Dagens Nyheter about whether the Princess in her 20s was introduced to Jeffrey Epstein."

The spokesperson went on saying, "The Royal Court notes the significant media interest in this matter.”

At the same time, it is important that the reporting remains focused on what is relevant, the official representative said and added, “No one can be expected to remember every person they have encountered throughout their life; however, Princess Sofia recalls meeting Epstein on a few occasions about 20 years ago."

The spokesperson further clarified that these meetings took place in social settings, such as at a restaurant and a movie premiere.

"Reports that the Princess received help from Epstein with acting lessons or with a visa to the United States are incorrect."

Princess Sofia has ‘never been dependent’ on Epstein in any way, nor has she had any contact with him for the past 20 years, the palace statement added.

The royal spokesperson released the statement after reports the former model and reality TV starlet met the disgraced financier through her mentor, Swedish businesswoman Barbro Ehnbom, in 2005, according to emails published by the Swedish outlet.
