Like every year, the event takes place on December 10th Nobel Prize Ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden. The evening is majestic: the royal family leads the event in the Stockholm Concert Hall. It’s quite a ritual. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden plays a leading role by presenting each winner with a diploma and a medal.
A banquet for 1,300 people will then take place in Stockholm City Hall. The King, Queen Silvia and other members of the Swedish royal family, including their three children and their partners, are guests of honor at the awards ceremony and banquet.
Then the photos circulate: The family poses in front of the flashes, they position themselves in pairs, each with his husband or wife. This year, however The photo was incomplete: Princess Sofia, married to Prince Carl Philip, did not attend the event, as she had done since her engagement in 2014.
This wasn’t really a surprise to the media in the Nordic country, as they immediately linked it to the latest scandal that the Swedish monarchy is now facing: the leak of emails directly linking the Princess to Jeffrey EpsteinCharged with sex trafficking of minors in 2008.
The message was originally published by Dagens Nyheter either DN (News of the Day), Sweden’s largest newspaper. She also shared some screenshots of those emails, which show that the princess and Epstein met several times in 2005, when she was 21.
The dialogues that can be read in the emails are not between Sofía and Epstein, but between the financier and sex offender and the Swedish businesswoman Barbro EhnbomPrincess mentor. In her country, she is known, among other things, for having set up and led a mentoring network for young business women, the “Barbro’s best and brightest(BBB) and for the award of the “Female Economist of the Year” (FEYO) scholarship. The discovery of this information made it clear that these projects were financed by Epstein himself.
“Thank you for keeping FEYO and BBB working. I received the additional check for $25,000 which I will personally take with me (to the Faculty of Economics),” she wrote to him on April 11, 2008.
At the beginning of November, the US House of Representatives published More than 20,000 previously secret documents from the Epstein investigation. There, several Swedish media outlets reported that Ehnbom mentioned the princess in an email to Epstein in which he listed several successful women from the BBB group.
There are also others that he has accessed DN recently and this comes from a new leak published by the website ddosecrets.com (“Distributed Secret Denial”), a non-profit whistleblower site created specifically for distributing news. This new batch showed emails that Ehnbom had sent to various Epstein mailboxes.
On the other hand, if the communication was about girls, about the business woman I sent him the photos and their names. For example, he said he met a “great girl” who he thought Epstein should know.
“This is Sofía, an aspiring actress who just arrived in New York. This is her the girl I told you about before my tripand I thought maybe you would like to meet her. Maybe we can stop by and say hello to you before you leave for your Christmas break.” This is what the businesswoman wrote. A photo of Sofía Hellqvist was attached to the text. The date: December 18, 2005.
“I’m in the Caribbean. Would you like to come for a few days?” I’ll send you a ticket“Epstein Enhbom replied.
That same year, the parents of a 14-year-old girl reported to Florida police that Epstein had sexually abused their daughter at his Palm Beach home. He avoided federal charges and instead received an 18-month sentence, the report said. BBC.
The exchange continued in 2006. Epstein contacted Enhbom again through his assistant: “Jeffrey wonders what really happened to Camilla. Have you told her she has a ticket to New York whenever she wants?”
“I think you mean Sofia, the small and beautiful brunette girl who was there with her friend Camilla,” she replied.
In connection with this leak, the Swedish royal family did not respond to how and why Sofia and Epstein met. All of these emails said he had offered her and her friend Camilla two places at drama school. The official answers simply said: “Princess Sofia has not applied for or attended any acting training“.
Camilla spoke to DN: “Thank God there is relief when the truth comes out. I was 22 years old. It’s very disturbing to think about what could have happened.” She also explained that the two met with Epstein in a New York office, that he called himself “Jeff” and that he offered them the opportunity to attend film school. “I think more than anything he wanted to make an offer.” show that I could do it, that I had power and money“, he added.
Camilla concluded her statement by assuring that she never saw Epstein again after the first meeting, which was attended by the now princess.
Another invitation from the tycoon to the current princess was to visit his island in the Caribbean. It is now known that he committed the sexual crimes there. “The island of the pedophiles,” the North American press called it. The official answer is also evasive in this sense and only ensures that “have had no contact with the person in question in the last 20 years“.
In a text that the royal family sent to the Swedish radio station Ekot They noted: “We would like to clarify and specify that this occurred in social situations, such as a restaurant and a movie premiere.” And they added: “You can’t ask anyone to remember all the people they’ve met in their life, but what Princess Sofia remembers is this.” met Epstein a few times “About 20 years ago.”
With all this information circulating in the main Swedish media, the princess is isolated. She did not attend the Nobel Prize ceremony, as she had done since her engagement to Prince Carl Philip. The official excuse is that she had to look after her last daughter, who was born in February this year.
When Sofia entered the circle of the crown, she was also surrounded by controversy. The situation was similar to that of Mette Marit and Prince Haakon of Norway.
The Magazine Vanity Fair of Spain explains it this way: “Princess Sofia of Sweden stepped out in a big way and made headlines when her relationship with Prince Carl Philip of Sweden came to light. Her past as Waitress, model or yoga teacher – a job she held in New York – the media disliked her and many questioned the appropriateness of her involvement with the prince.”
Sofía Hellqvist, as she is called, is 41 years old. She started modeling as soon as she came of age. At the age of 20, he appeared in a men’s magazine slot. You can see her in a swimsuit or with a bare upper body. He posed with a snake. The cameras caught them in suggestive poses.
She was then elected Miss Slitz 2004. It was a pivotal moment in her past as she tried to find her own way in the world of entertainment: after that other coronation, she took part in the reality Paradise Hotel, where a group of single men and women wanted to form a couple in a luxury hotel and competed for their companions’ votes to stay on the show for as long as possible.
In 2005, a year after appearing in the magazine, he moved to New York to study accounting. Accordingly Vanity Fairshe herself “betrayed them Past as a stripper in various clubs in Stockholm and New York.”
Among all the rumors that surround her, there are those that claim that when she returned to Sweden she met Carlos Felipe in a nightclub. Others, however, say they were introduced by mutual friends at a restaurant.
The truth is that they started a relationship in 2010 They announced their engagement in 2014 through an official statement. They married in 2015 at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. She changed her public image, she adapted to the new family that took her in.
The diary The world said: “The royal family finally accepted Hellqvist, whose past was as unclear as that of other princesses of humble origins. When the competition ended (Paradise Hotel), the future Swedish princess posed naked for the men’s magazine ‘slot‘. She has also worked as a waitress in a nightclub. Instead, he has sought to counteract the impact of his past in the media by working with various charities.”
