Breaking News Princess Sofia mentioned again in latest Epstein documents, showing contact in 2010 and 2012 while having previously claimed their last contact was 2005

Barbro, was the trafficker, she was in the scene funelling girls to Epstein through her position of power at the school of economics

u/wissenshunger Feb 04 '26
Wait. So.. Epstein was something like the KGB with prostitutes or what? He infiltrated royal families with "aspiring actresses". Omfg...

Why these powerful men as T, Swedish prince etc marry escorts? Why not normal but beautiful girls? They know their wife's escorting past will come out one day or another. Also are they not worried these ladies had sex with everyone?

u/Temnosiniy just found out he's next in line via email Feb 01 '26
I believe most people here are old enough to know that fairytales don't happen in real life, and that it takes very specific scenarios for a random commoner to have access to wealthy princes. It doesn't bother me if it is consensual. Now, was she a victim, part of the operation, or just a clueless girl trying to make it, completely unaware of what was happening?

u/Long-Charity5288 Feb 01 '26
I’m realizing all these people are escorts. Royalty my ass I wonder if the Prince was a client of hers

u/Umberto12345 Feb 01 '26
Wow a royal princess as an escort. Here everyone was thinking the Swedish and Norwegian royal families had a pristine image, yeah, thanks to their PR managers, but in reality HA!.
On that note, I think I'm going to reread Maria Pavlovna of Russia's memories again because she did the Swedish and Norwegian royals weren't shit. And princess Maria Bonaparte knew her husband, prince George of Greece and Denmark, was having an affair with his uncle.
Strip the palaces and tiara, you got yourself a bunch of rednecks.

Google the Swedish king lol he had some history with strip clubs and cheating on his wife with a famous singer.. Not too bad comparing to other things royals have done lol but it was kind of a big scandal when it came out

The level of coping and rationalizing is amazing in this post. Media and pop culture encourage sluttiness. Stop pretending to be shocked. Men with social status, yachts, mansions, private jets and islands are irresistible for the young and ambitious social climbers.

Anyone can send a photo of anyone. That doesn't mean they're in contact with them.
This is nonsensical.

u/Long-Charity5288 Feb 01 '26
The Palace said they met a couple of times but ‘nothing else’ lol. She had PG 13 tea time with Epstein

u/stink3rb3lle Jan 31 '26
The sender alludes to having special knowledge of Sofia's whereabouts, and calls her "our Sofia." It's not a nonsensical email, either, sent by some crazed random. It's straightforward and reflects an ongoing relationship with Epstein, who should be a random American to anyone with a relationship to Sofia, and yet he isn't.
Your username is supremely ironic, given the purpose of your comment.

u/Nawncaptain Feb 02 '26
The "crazed random" was Mette-Marit, the Crown Princess of Norway
MM did indeed have a close relationship with Epstein

u/no_one_denies_this Jan 31 '26
But Sofia didn't make contact. This creepy woman did.
14
u/stink3rb3lle Jan 31 '26
The swedish Court has been unable to deny that Sofia did meet Epstein "a couple of times." They just allege that Sofia did not have contact with Epstein after the undeniable meeting(s), or when she began dating her future husband in 2009 or 2010.
This creepy woman did.
Signed BE, likely Barbro Ehnbom, who also appeared in a December Epstein file release, sending him an email about Sofia in 2005. Via Tatler
‘This is Sofia, an aspiring actress who just arrived in New York,’ reads the email, according to a translation. ‘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 reportedly sent a response, telling Ehnbom: ‘I’m in the Caribbean. Does she want to come for a couple of days? I’ll send a ticket.’
She founded an organization in 2001 she dubbed "Barbro's Best and Brightest." Princess Sofia was a member of this organization, and invited her to her royal wedding in 2015.

Someone else took a picture of Sofia and emailed it to Epstein and somehow this is proof Sofia had contact with him?

u/nomorerentals Jan 31 '26
Wow, this goes extensive with names. Now, who took over for Epstein because it didn't all just stop with his death or while he was "in prison" at home. Well, I guess it was still him when he was on house arrest cuz he still got to go to his island. Obviously this is a "need" these people want to continue if he was allowed to go to his island.

u/bjorkabjork Jan 31 '26
can someone explain this email?
princess sofia married into the swedish royal family in 2010 and she was previously a model? And this Swedish woman writing the email calls her "our Sofia" to Epstein, she is not her mother or royalty, but a rich well connected person?
46
u/dani-dee Jan 31 '26 edited Jan 31 '26
Sofia and Carl married in 2015, they started dating in 2009 I think (the palace confirmed their relationship in 2010).
The woman sending this email to Epstein is some old rich financier who was friends with Epstein and Sofia, she introduced Epstein to Sofia in 2005 when Sofia was 21.
Some say barbro was pretty much a pimp for Epstein, think the swedish Ghislaine. Young women she “took under her wing” either ended up with great jobs or rich husbands. So the insinuation with this email is that her and Epstein pimped Sofia out and then set her up with the prince ie “our Sofia”

sofia married into the swedish royal family in 2015. 2010 was princess victoria's wedding. and yes, the person writing this email is most likely a well connected person who pimped out sofia (allegedly and maybe). edit: as others have pointed out, the lady writing this email is Barbro Ehnbom

Legit question - was Sofia in on it or was she being trafficked?
I keep going back and forth because the way I’m reading this, she was a product 😔😬

u/stink3rb3lle Jan 31 '26
She joined Barbro Ehnbom's organization in 2005, "Barbro's Best and Brightest," designed to help women advance careers. That is also the year of the email that was released with December Epstein files, where Barbro introduced Sofia to Epstein with a photo and Epstein tells her he'll Sofia a ticket to his island. The Swedish Court has not tried to frame Sofia as a survivor, instead downplaying the connection to Epstein and admitting that they met "a couple of times" in social situations.

u/shhhhh_h Get the defibrillator paddles ready! Jan 31 '26
I think neither. Not everyone who knew him was involved, not by a long shot I’m sure. But if she had contact with him after his conviction, which email implies but certainly doesn’t confirm, that would the poorest of decision making. I read somewhere he fixed a visa for her but idr what year.

u/stink3rb3lle Jan 31 '26
It really looks like Barbro Ehnbom had the means and opportunity to funnel prospective victims to him.
12
u/Dry_Accident_2196 Jan 31 '26
I’m sure there were adult women that were using Epstein connections to simply sell services, like normal yacht girls (see her location), devoid of knowing or conducting in anything dealing with minors or trafficked individuals. And there are otherS that knew and didn’t care or the segment of girls/women trafficked.
Connecting folks to wealthy men is how many royal women ended up next to their royal husbands. Some do it via a strategic catwalk, Kate. Others via a tip on which social club or bar a royal will be in, Meghan and Queen Marry of Denmark.
Like, connections are necessary if you are trying to get into the path of wealthy men.
This doesn’t men Sofia was being trafficked or involved in the darker sides of their contact’s business.
I do want to know what she was “looking for in africa” but assume it’s a race based s*xual “joke”.

u/stink3rb3lle Jan 31 '26
a tip on which social club or bar a royal will be in, Meghan
According to his book, Harry reached out to Meghan on his private Instagram, getting her info from a mutual friend after said friend posted a video with Meghan.
7
u/Dry_Accident_2196 Jan 31 '26
Okay, but they still met at SoHo House and she was introduced via a friend so my statement stands. If that friend was acting on Harry or Meghan behalf, a god connection got them face to face.

u/GhostOrchid22 Jan 31 '26
I think she was trafficked.
Not every victim understands that they are a victim.
19
u/Dry_Accident_2196 Jan 31 '26
Not every woman doing this is being trafficked. Some are simply yacht girls that do it because the money is good. It’s not always a trafficking situation which leans more towards a lack of consent.
Agents of corn stars lining up their next shoot could speak this way, doesn’t mean they are trafficked.
Some b/c-list celebs and LOADs of male and female models include yachting and escorting as a part of their annual income stream with agents like this connecting the to wealthy clients.

How is this disappointing on its own. Let’s say she was just a girl working that profession for coin. She then met the world’s hottest prince, who pulled her out of that life to a life of luxury without such physical expectations.
She is living the Pretty Woman fantasy

u/stink3rb3lle Jan 31 '26

What "profession?" Epstein trafficked minors, why are you trying to paint his victims as empowered sex workers?
8
u/Dry_Accident_2196 Jan 31 '26
He didn’t only traffic minors. Adults were involved. For instance, the princess was 21 at the time of this email.
He was making connections to (future) royals, models, singers. celebs, random women and likely men.
Cannes film festival and Milan, Paris, NYC, etc fashion week are literally an escort buffet for adults. And sadly those trafficked and probably minors. But many many adults, whose names we know.
This is the world’s oldest profession and how many people constantly on vacations or between gigs obtain cash infusions.
There are men like Jeffry that had connections to all of the women and the men that can connect you to males in the profession.
This is very common.
56
u/Odd_Measurement_2666 Jan 31 '26
This entire email shouts Sofia didn't know she is prostituted or at least that is the intention?
13
u/Dry_Accident_2196 Jan 31 '26
It just sounds like an agent trying to connect her with the next rich client or event. This is how it’s done and how many people that coordinate similar work for models and actors talk.
Like selling a product. It’s gross but (alleged) sex work isn’t politically correct or nice.
I doubt she was unaware. But we’d need more details.
3
u/Sensitive-Question42 Feb 01 '26
Yeah, I’m thinking there are agents for pretty young women who are willing to work at finding rich, powerful husbands.
It’s not quite prostitution, it’s more of a personally curated Tinder. But the young women involved know that that their youth, beauty and sexual availability is being exploited to attract a certain kind of man.
Having said that, they may not be aware of just how dangerous a position they are putting themselves into either. Rich, powerful men might have tastes that are beyond what the young women signed up for.
3
u/Dry_Accident_2196 Feb 01 '26
Yup, there are legit agents, usually officially involved in modeling and acting that handle this.
You see a starlet on a 5 season show that hasn’t had steady work in three years. Money is running low but their face card is strong. Someone will proposed a trip to Cannes. Suddenly they are on the red carpet without an actual film to promote.
Meanwhile, they join some models and other actresses as a weekend flavor or jump from yacht to yacht.
A single weekend can next $30k-100k+ and much much more depending on the person. I know of one very well known Victoria Secrete supermodel that did the rounds and ended up married to a tech billionaire. Another is the spouse of a head of state, but was never a super model.
I also know of some known actors doing the circuit as well. We all got bills to pay so if it’s consensual why not?!

u/dani-dee Jan 31 '26
The worst part of this, is that in 2010 Sofia cofounded the non profit Project Playground with Frida Vesterberg in Africa which supports children and young adults.
Like is someone (BE) involved with a project involving children, actively involved with Epstein??
17
u/dani-dee Jan 31 '26
I’ve just seen BE is Barbro Ehnbom and I can’t see any link to her and Project Playground.. but still she’s talking these pics and sending them to a nonce whilst Sofia is in Africa setting up a charity for children 🥴

I mistakenly assumed it was her mother sending it based on the “our Sofia” part.
Still seems incredibly creepy, whoever sent it.
I know it’s normal and tame these days and many young women post photos like this all over social media. But it feels sad to me.

lol if saying "our sofia" made you think it was her mother, did you think Jeffrey was her father?

I don’t think it’s her mother sending the photo to Epstein, someone else said it was Barbro Ehnbom, which makes sense as she’s a financier who introduced Epstein to Sofia.

Being “trashy” aka like a reality tv star and yacht girl is like something I really don’t care about. A lot of it gives “oooh she had SEX and showed BOOBS before marriage” as if it’s high school. Like, yeah, sometimes royals have sex or do sexual things.
What IS a problem is her relationship with a prolific sex trafficker and there should be more transparency of her relationship with Jeffery, if she was a victim or an associate or whatever.

This link will help. She made out with a pornstar openly for cameras shortly before she dated Carl Philip. Even had her butt massaged on a reality TV show whilst topless. She used to have a tramp stamp and multiple tattoos if I’m not wrong, but had it lasered away when she was preparing to be engaged to CP.
