Why have the Epstein files triggered a political and royal meltdown in Norway, while the US barely reacted? DW breaks it down with Trine Eilertsen, editor-in-chief of Norway's largest printed newspaper.
I think the actual question is “why does the US not do shit about this when other countries do”.
It doesn’t help that the Norway crown prince (EDIT: not the crown prince as I thought; sorry !) has a rape trial going on at the moment (the courts are apparently deliberating now after all testimony if my (much-work-in-progress) Norwegian is to be believed)
For the sake of clarity, the guy on trial is not the Norwegian crown prince, and he does not have any claim to the Norwegian crown in any way. He is the son of the wife of the Norwegian crownprince, but she had him in her first marriage, before marrying the Norwegian crown prince after her divorce.
I thought “crown prince” meant the next in line? If so, then that’s a tiny bit misleading, the guy on rape trial is just a prince. AFAIK he’s like the 4th in line for the throne, or something like that

Not even that, he has no claim to the throne, since he is the child of two commoners.
Oh right, he was that guy
Ah, it might be my mistake, then. I thought he was next in line.
Turns out, hes not in line at all. Rothe below kindly corrected that he is not
