An anonymous letter in the files indicates photos of Mette-Marit were apparently used in a way the sender found improper. The writer asked Epstein for permission to print images from his computer.
Other messages hint she smoked at the time; in 2018 Mette-Marit publicly revealed she suffers from pulmonary fibrosis and was preparing for a lung transplant. After the files became public she issued a statement apologizing, expressing regret over the contact with Epstein and taking responsibility for her judgment.
