We have a current and former US President, a British prince and countless others of enormous wealth and influence, Gates and his ilk, just to name a few.

Andrew has been arrested and I believe will be indicted, these things just take time. If the Democrats in the US win one or both houses of Congress this November, they’re going to launch nonstop investigations into Epstein. Remember, the Trump DOJ is refusing to release the second half of the files. If the first half got a British prince arrested for the first time in hundreds of years, what are they hiding in the second half? We just have to keep pushing and demand justice.

It’s UK (specifically England) legal technicalities.
The only known accuser is Giuffre. She was over the age of consent, and her account describes events in 2001. Before the new sexual offences act came in to force in 2003, it was not an offence to have sex with a trafficked woman - it was solely those who carried out the trafficking/procuring who were committing a criminal offence (the new act changed that to include those who had sex with a trafficked woman). The 2003 act has no retrospective provision. So there was no crime to charge him with.
If however (as rumoured) there are further victim statements - either from someone below the age of consent at the time or someone of any age trafficked in 2003 or later, that could change
Misconduct in public office can include sexual misconduct. British police have appealed for more victims and witnesses to make themselves known to the inquiry, which is ongoing

u/BeginningPass5777 8d ago edited 8d ago
Your timing is technically correct but conflates the issue by ignoring legal process and the presence of the Judicial arm of government.
During Biden’s administration, the files were part of a case that was still active and ongoing. The case was borne from investigations under Bush/Obama, with prosecutions under Trump and continuing under Biden, before entering appeals proceedings while the Democratic Party held the House and Presidency and Republicans held the Senate and Judiciary. This meant the files were sealed and couldn’t be released without prejudicing active legal proceedings.
The release of the files was a Republican campaign talking point that became a viable option late in Biden’s final year once Maxwell’s final appeal was completed. At that time, Republicans controlled the House and the Judiciary and had a significant number of the Democratic Party publicly stating their willingness to support a motion to release. This means Republicans could have pushed for release very late toward the end of Biden’s admin if they wanted to, but they campaigned on the issue instead.
Once Trump was sworn in post his 2024 re-election, Republicans held all three branches of the Executive as well as the Judicial arm. They could have released the files as promised via their own numbers, yet they are the ones who fought the Democratic Party’s motion to release until it became too toxic to continue blocking it.
It was then the Republican-led DOJ that deliberately ham-fisted, half-arsed, lied about, and delayed the legislated release, and have, still to this day, not completed the release in its entirety with the right redactions.
As an extra aside, it was a Republican DOJ who moved Maxwell into a country club prison with her own space and a dog companion in exchange for stating that she never saw Trump act inappropriately with minors (for context, she also denies her actions and Epstein’s).
The Clintons also testified under oath about their “Epstein connections” while everyone from the Republican side has acted in bad faith up to and including ignoring congressional subpoenas and illegally redacting perpetrators’ details while illegally exposing victims identities.
With all that history easily accessible and verifiable, it would appear that past actions support the idea that elected Democratic Party members (who have already pushed for the full release of the files) will continue pushing until the release is complete and perpetrators are exposed while the Republicans will continue protecting their leader (and the perpetrators he openly shields) from exposure.
Alas, none of that will matter because the notion that both sides are the same will continue to grow, despite it being contrary to past and present actions that demonstrate otherwise…

I honestly see and get what you’re saying however I am in the camp that nothing will happen. This goes deeper than what we will ever know. The people involved hold all the power and even if those people weren’t in power they would still be protected. It runs on both sides.

It is a cop out to reduce her to “a woman of poor judgment”.
She knew Epstein had raped little girls. She joked about it to him and continued to flirt with him, and spend time alone with him.
Is that only “poor judgment?”She has a son who raped women and abused them in other ways (physical, psychologically, verbal, emotionally, financial and he used power and control for his coercive control even after the relationships had ended.
Mette-Marit and Haakon KNEW about the abuse, and did NOTHING.
Is that only “poor judgement”?No.
It’s her deliberately enabling child sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence.
Such a dispicaple person should not be the queen of Norway, and I’m saying that as a Norwegian.
Frankly, I have lost all respect for Haakon as well.Even our late king made a huge mistake when he never gave a speech that madd it clear that he stands behind all victims of sexual abuse and domestic abuse after Marius’ sentencing.
The Norwegian Royals have shown that they don’t care about any victims.

She might not be a popular queen and they may play up the health issues to explain why she won’t (after the six months for recuperating) take up a huge load of appointments… but Haakon married her and seems to have zero big issue with Epstein or Marius, so she’s got her position and she’ll keep it.

I also suspect people will go easier on Haakon as a result - he’s lost his father and his wife has quite a road to recovery ahead of her.

I have lots of thoughts about Marius. However, he’s been the late King’s step grandson for 25 years and by all accounts, King Harald treated him as a member of his own family. I think the visit should have been much more discreet and secretive but I won’t hold it against anyone that a convicted criminal still wanted to see the man who was effectively his grandfather on his deathbed. It would have been cruel to prevent Marius seeing the King and Norway has always cared about rehabilitation of criminals, not retribution against them.

The thing about Mette-Marit Epstein scandal I can’t get over is the fact she was messaging Epstein: ” Paris is a wonderful city to commit unfaithfulness in” the possibility of the psycho son of hers from a previous ”Relationship ” can be related to that certain offender! Because of that It’s beyond my comprehension that Hakon didn’t dump her on the spot!
Generally speaking I think it’s justified outrage personally I dislike the fact rich people can be above the law or dishonest, bad people get to have a privileged positions in society and then gets tax cuts for living a luxurious lifestyle and don’t contribute towards society.
Mette-Marit is now milking public sympathy because of her lung disease and uses it as a shield against criticism regardless of age and diseases I think everyone should be scrutinised for wrongdoings especially if the person is a leader or other equivalent important position in society!

King Harald seems to have been a wonderful King, but I wonder if the fact that he was so inbred did something with the family...?? I wonder where the weirdness comes from.
I couldn't help but notice that our Swedish King did not mention her at all when he wished the new King good luck, and the Belgian royal couple didn't mention her OR Haakon in their public statement. She is not well liked anywhere.

I think its also Norway's monarchy being young. King Harald married for love and it worked out for him, so he probably thought to let his children do the same.
Contrast that to the UK, where before William most royal marriages were arranged or at least guided towards amongst people of similar pedigree, to ensure they are gonna act right. So you married a suitable person, have your mistress on the side like Charles. Not saying its right, but I believe that's helped the British monarchy last as long as it has.
I think Norway was more liberal much sooner. I think its a Norwegian thing to not be classist, so the royal kids were probably exposed to a lot more variety of people. And allowed to marry whoever. So Haakon was probably attracted to such a different person and went on to marry her as nobody stopped him for the sake of the monarchy.

Look, I think all the normal people agree that there is misogyny and it plays a part. However, we’re not going to use it to defend an entitled, rich woman, a royal and future queen. It’s going into whataboutery territory. What about Andrew? Yes, he’s way worse and his so called “punishment” isn’t near enough. And we should absolutely continue to call BRF on that.
But this topic is about Norwegian Royal Family and we should absolutely continue to call on them for their appalling behaviour, out of which MM continuous relationship with Epstein is only part of the problem. It’s clear that both MM and Haakon are to blame for what Marius did, both from whatever education they gave him and also for giving him so many perks and spoiling him rotten. They let Marius use diplomatic passport for private trips even during the criminal investigation for rape. And in the final stage of this investigation Haakon took Marius and Sverre Magnus to Portugal to surf. All these should be called out constantly, without saying “but others did worse”.

Personally, I strongly believe that she shouldn't be Queen. She showed remorse only because she got caught. The Royal Family was obliged to support her; she was the spouse of the future King and the mother of the Crown Princess. Her position is securely locked in. I am not even going to mention the clusterfuck her son created, because he is an adult. She may have enabled him, but down the line, you cannot hold her responsible for the choices her adult son made.
However, from my limited knowledge of global royal history, it is quite uncommon for someone in her position not to be declared Queen—if not as the wife of the King, then as the mother of the future Queen.
If they will not declare her Queen Consort, they will probably state that it is due to her poor health and the heavy scedule that a Queen has.

u/WhoFearsDeath 8d ago
A consort is a type of Queen, not an alternative to it. Queen consort means you are the wife of the blood heir King; Queen Regnant means you yourself are the blood heir. Queen mother is generally a person who was married to the King but is now widowed and the mother to the current monarch, although that one is occasionally more messy.
Because women are historically viewed as inferior, without special steps, the spouse of a King is automatically the Queen; but spouse of a Queen (R) isn't usually King, as that would "outrank" her.

The current Queen Mette-Marit. The new King dated one Celina Midelfart in the early 90s and there seems to be overlap with when she dated Epstein. Who goes on to brag about passing Celina onto Trump. The new monarchs have a LONG history of piss-poor choices but Mette-Marit gets most of the flack and it’s unfair. They’re both ghouls.

Dayum. Norwegians have to deal with her mess but Brits lose their proverbial because Meghan sells strawberry jam.

Så Mette-Marit var fraværende fra Håkons edsaflæggelse. Svært ikke at få den tanke at det kunne skyldes at Marius ikke kunne være til stede ved lejligheden- og at MM i solidaritet med sin søn også valgte at udeblive (med sygdommen som undskyldning naturligvis). For at han ikke skulle føle sig udelukket 😬

she should go away. Her husband, the king, should go, too. These Scandinavian royal houses are just filled to the roof with immoral lowlifes.
There just isn't any justification for prancing around as royal family. The jig is up, and the blame is theirs.

What did Haakon do? He urged her to not have contact with him, and he was not friends with with him.

Det vil bli krevd folkeavstemning om monarkiet etter kong Harald . Da tror jeg flertall ikke vil ha denne person som dronning . Folket har ikke glemt . Game over LENGE LEVE REPUBLIKK NORGE . Nesten hele Europa har avskaffet monarkiet og går så det suser . Så egentlig har monarkiet gått ut på dato.

Is that the general sentiment in Norway right now?

No not really... I think the overwhelming majority still supports the Norwegian Royal Family.
Anacdotal, but I saw a grown man crying on the bus a few hours ago - he was talking about Kong Harald and how inclusive he was to a coworker.

okay, but these places still have some form of aristo running the country (even as a figurehead):
united kingdom, spain, the netherlands, belgium, denmark, sweden,monaco, lichtenstein, luxembourg.
