Princess Sofia Was Invited to Jeffrey Epstein’s Private Island, Leaked Emails Claim
Here is a rewritten, conversational, and UK-friendly version of the article, around 550 words, keeping every original quote exactly as written and preserving all source facts. It looks like another royal name has been pulled into the long shadow of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. This time, it is Princess Sofia of Sweden, who is now facing questions after leaked emails suggested she crossed paths with Epstein several times in her early twenties and was even invited to visit his private island.
Before she married Prince Carl Philip in 2015 and stepped fully into royal life, Sofia was already a well-known figure in Sweden thanks to reality TV appearances and modelling work. Her past has been discussed before, but these new details reported by Swedish outlet Dagens Nyheter and published through the nonprofit site ddosecrets.com have thrown a much brighter spotlight on a chapter of her life that most people had forgotten.

The leaked emails show that Epstein offered Sofia and a friend places at an acting school during a period when she was spending time in New York. She was 21 back then and, according to the documents, the pair came into Epstein’s circle through a Swedish businesswoman who acted as Sofia’s mentor. The woman is said to have introduced them several times and wrote directly to Epstein about the princess on 18 December 2005, according to the Daily Express.
Her email said: “This is Sofia, an aspiring actress who just arrived in New York. She’s the girl I told you about before I left, who I thought you might like to meet. Maybe we can visit before you go on holiday?” Epstein replied with an offer that now sounds deeply unsettling given what is known about him: “I’m in the Caribbean. Does she want to come for a couple of days? I’ll send a ticket”.
The Swedish royal family has since confirmed that meetings did take place, but stressed that they happened before Epstein’s conviction. In a carefully worded statement, they said: “Princess Sofia has been introduced to the person in question on a few occasions around 2005.” They also made it clear that she did not accept the invitation to the Caribbean and did not travel to Epstein’s private island, Little St James, which has become infamous in the years since.

What the palace has not explained is how these meetings happened or what was discussed. They also did not confirm the number of encounters beyond the phrase “a few occasions”, which has already sparked a fair amount of speculation in the Swedish press.
Reports in German outlet Bild add another layer, claiming that one of the alleged meetings took place at a dinner party in Epstein’s Upper East Side mansion. These dinners were known for bringing together celebrities, financiers, and ambitious young people trying to make connections in New York. According to Bild, Sofia’s mentor helped organise at least one of these evenings.
The royal family has been firm on one point. They say Princess Sofia had absolutely no contact with Epstein after 2005. Still, the timing and circumstances have left many people trying to piece together what exactly happened during that short chapter of her life. For anyone who wants to explore the coverage, more details can be found in reports from Dagens Nyheter, Bild, and wider analysis from outlets such as The Guardian and BBC News.
