Royalty, Epstein Scandal, Nuclear Talks, and More

Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit has apologized for her past ties to Jeffrey Epstein, while France made history by opening a consulate in Greenland, and Iran and the US agreed to continue nuclear talks, according to reports on Friday. These events unfolded amidst ongoing tensions and diplomatic efforts across the globe.

Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway issued an apology to the King and Queen for her friendship with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, whose links to sex trafficking have been widely publicized. According to Sky News, the Princess stated she "must take responsibility for not having investigated Epstein's background more thoroughly, and for not realising sooner what kind of person he was." The apology came after the latest release of files related to Epstein.

In a move highlighting growing geopolitical interest in the Arctic, France opened a consulate in Greenland's capital, Nuuk, on Friday. Euronews reported that this makes France the first EU country to establish a consulate general on the island, fulfilling a promise made by President Emmanuel Macron during his visit last June. The opening comes amid increasing geopolitical tensions in the region.

Meanwhile, Iran and the United States agreed to continue negotiations regarding Tehran's nuclear program after holding indirect talks in Oman on Friday. Euronews indicated that the talks, mediated by Oman, took place despite ongoing tensions related to Iran's crackdown on recent protests. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff led their respective delegations in Muscat.

In other news, a TechCrunch report revealed that an advisor to Prince Andrew, David Stern, attempted to involve Jeffrey Epstein in investments in electric vehicle startups, including Lucid Motors, in 2017. Stern reportedly saw an opportunity to break a funding logjam for Lucid Motors, which was seeking investment.
