No Context Needed
Some emails in the Mette-Marit-Epstein archive require context to fully understand. Others are disturbing on their face.
The "naked women wallpaper" exchange from 2012 requires no additional explanation.
The Email: September 2012
In September 2012, Crown Princess Mette-Marit sent Jeffrey Epstein an email discussing her son's living space. Her son, Marius Borg Høiby, was 15 years old at the time.
The email mentioned that her son's room featured "naked women" wallpaper—a decorative choice that the Crown Princess brought to Epstein's attention in casual correspondence.
The mention was not framed as a concern or a problem to be addressed. It was presented as an observation, part of the ongoing personal updates that characterized their three-year email relationship.
Why This Matters
The "naked women wallpaper" email is significant for several reasons beyond the shocking headline:
1. The Recipient
Mette-Marit chose to share this detail with a convicted sex offender who had pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for prostitution. By 2012, she had known about his criminal background for over a year (per her own "Googled You" admission in 2011).
2. The Subject
The reference to sexualized imagery in a minor's room, shared with a sex offender, raises questions about judgment and boundaries.
3. The Pattern
This email fits a broader pattern in the correspondence where Mette-Marit shared personal family details with Epstein, including information about her children, her marriage, and her royal duties.
The Complete Context
The September 2012 email is part of a larger collection of correspondence from that month, during which Mette-Marit and Epstein exchanged multiple messages. The "naked women wallpaper" reference appears within the flow of casual conversation about family, interior design, and day-to-day life.
