Key details
Recent revelations have confirmed that Princess Sofia of Sweden, formerly known as Sofia Hellqvist, met convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein multiple times around 2005. According to the Swedish royal court, these meetings took place in New York, although details about the purpose and nature of the encounters remain scarce.
Leaked emails have surfaced connecting Epstein to Swedish financier Barbro Ehnbom, who played a significant role in introducing Princess Sofia to Epstein. In December 2005, Ehnbom described Sofia as an 'aspiring actress' and introduced her to Epstein, who responded by sending her a flight ticket to the Caribbean. Ehnbom referred to Sofia affectionately as "the little beautiful dark-haired girl" and mentioned to Epstein that both Sofia and her friend Camilla were offered places in an acting training program. However, Camilla reportedly found the situation unsettling and declined further engagement.
Further communications reveal that Epstein financially supported initiatives led by Ehnbom, including a scholarship titled 'Female Economist of the Year.' Despite Epstein's 2008 conviction on sex offenses, his donations to Swedish institutions continued until 2014, raising questions about the extent of his financial influence.
The Swedish royal court confirmed that Princess Sofia met Epstein a few times but declined to elaborate on the specifics. The connection through Ehnbom highlights a network facilitating interactions between Epstein and young Swedish women during that period.
These disclosures have sparked renewed scrutiny and concern over the association of a prominent Swedish royal figure with Epstein, especially given his criminal history. The full implications remain under discussion as more information emerges.
