OSLO, Norway (AP) — Norway’s crown princess apologized on Friday for the situation she has put the royal family in as she faces scrutiny over her contacts with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, part of a broader apology for all those she has “disappointed.”

The eldest son of Norway's crown princess is back in court for Day Two of a trial at which he is facing allegations of multiple alleged offenses, including rape.

The worst scandal to engulf Norway’s royal family began with a routine police call-out to an apartment in a wealthy district of Oslo.

Marius Borg Høiby, the crown prince's blond stepson, is accused of 38 charges in a case that has attracted global interest.

Marius Borg Hoiby is at the center of a criminal case that has shaken Norway's monarchy "to its core" – with the arrest of the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit intensifying pressure on the royal household just as his rape trial begins.

Mette-Marit, who is married to Crown Prince Haakon, the heir to the Norwegian throne, herself faced increased scrutiny this week after her name was mentioned hundreds of times in pages relating to Epstein. The crown princess is in line to become queen when her husband accedes to the throne.

Police said that the eldest son of Norway’s crown princess has been arrested just before his trial opens on charges including rape in a case that has been an embarrassment to the royal family.
