Princess Sofia is said to have been invited to a private screening of the musical Les Misérables on Broadway in 2012 as a personal guest of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who is deceased.
"Princess Sofia announces that she has not participated in the film screening that Expressen reports on. The Princess was in Sweden on the relevant date and has no knowledge of how her name ended up in the relevant document," the Royal Information Department writes in an email to TT.
"In other respects, we refer to our previous statements on the matter," the Royal Court writes.
Mentioned in email
Princess Sofia is also mentioned in an email to Epstein, where a picture purporting to show her is attached.
"Here is a photo of our Sofia - you remember - that is, soon-to-be Princess Sofia... The entire Swedish press is looking for her... While she is in Africa," the email, signed with the initials BE, reads.
According to several media outlets, this refers to the financier Barbro Ehnbom, who is said to have introduced Princess Sofia to Epstein.
The Royal Court has previously stated that Princess Sofia met Epstein in social contexts, and that they have not had contact for the past 20 years.
3.5 million documents
In November, the US Congress passed a law requiring the release of all documents related to the Epstein investigation by December 19. The process has been criticized for being too slow. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has pointed out that it has taken time to protect the identities of more than 1,000 of Epstein's victims who appear in the documents.
Friday's release of the Epstein files is the largest to date. In total, about 3.5 million documents have been released.
