He has ties to other European houses and like the other European monarchs he wields no real political power today. Harald married Sonja Haraldsen, a commoner, in 1968. Their son Prince Haakon and Mette-Marit, both 52, were married in 2001. She was a single mother who had lived a freewheeling life with a companion who had been convicted on drug charges. The crown prince and princess share two children: Princess Ingrid Alexandra, 21, who is in the line of succession to become monarch one day, and 19-year-old Prince Sverre Magnus.. After the latest release of documents a week ago, she said in a statement that she took responsibility for “not having investigated Epstein’s background more thoroughly.” The crown princess also expressed “deep sympathy and solidarity” with the victims of abuse committed by Epstein. The latest release of Epstein files showed an email exchange with her in October 2012 in which he noted how he was in Paris “on my wife hunt,” but “i prefer Scandinavians.”Mette-Marit’s statement on Friday said: “Some of the content of the messages between Epstein and me does not represent the person I want to be.”On Tuesday, her son from an earlier relationship, Marius Borg Høiby, went on trial to face charges including rape, abuse in a close relationship, acts of violence and making death threats. He has denied the most serious charges; other include transporting marijuana and traffic violations. The crown prince issued a statement last week saying the couple would not be present in court nor comment on the case over the expected seven weeks of proceedings. The statement noted that Høiby was not a member of the Royal House but called him “an important member of our family.” Mette-Marit has had medical issues recently. She was diagnosed in 2018 with a lung disease known as pulmonary fibrosis. Last month the royal court said medical tests had shown a “clear worsening” of her condition and that physicians had started looking into the possibility of lung-transplant surgery for her.A Norstat agency poll for Dagbladet daily and public broadcaster NRK showed that two-thirds of respondents said they supported the constitutional monarchy as a form of government, down from nearly three-fourths in August. A similar poll for VG also indicated declining support for the monarchy.
