Emails have uncovered that Princess Sofia of Sweden had several meetings with the late Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile billionaire. He even extended an invitation for her to visit his notorious private island in the Caribbean.
The 41-year-old princess, who was a lingerie model and reality TV personality before marrying Prince Carl Philip in 2015, was first introduced to Epstein through her mentor Barbro Embom in 2005, as reported by Swedish media.
In December 2005, a Swedish businessman wrote to Epstein, saying, “This is Sofia, an aspiring actress who has just arrived in New York. She is the girl I told you about before I left, and I thought she might be interested in meeting you.”
Subsequently, Sofia reached out via email, asking, “Can I go before I go on vacation?” along with a picture of then-model Sophia Baltazar Winslow.
Epstein responded, “I’m in the Caribbean. Does she want to come for a few days? I’ll send her a ticket,” inviting Sofia to Little St. James, the site of serious allegations against him.
The Swedish royal family has confirmed that while Princess Sofia turned down the invitation, she did meet Epstein on multiple occasions.
The Royal Swedish Court stated, “[She] was introduced to him several times around 2005,” adding that she had no contact with him for the next 20 years.
Details about the meetings—where and under what circumstances—have not been disclosed. Notably, Epstein was convicted of soliciting minors for prostitution nearly three years later.
Often referred to as the “world’s most scandalous princess,” Sofia appeared on the reality show Paradise Hotel in 2005 before moving to New York and ultimately meeting Epstein.
In 2004, she posed topless for a men’s magazine and shared her experiences of attending extravagant parties with celebrities on her blog.
Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail in 2019 while facing federal charges related to sex trafficking.
