In recent statements to Svensk Damtidning, journalist and author Ian Halperin claims that Jeffrey Epstein had an unhealthy obsession with Swedish Princess Madeleine, particularly during her time residing in New York. Halperin mentions that Epstein regarded the princess as the 'sexiest royal in the world' and even went to the extent of having one of his employees monitor her movements. He allegedly boasted about his intentions to pursue Princess Madeleine, indicating a fixation that went beyond mere admiration.

Halperin further alleges that Epstein collected numerous photographs of the princess, particularly focusing on her legs, showcasing a disturbing level of obsession. This revelation ties back to Halperin's previous writings on Epstein, including his book "Controversy: Sex, Lies and Dirty Money by the World's Powerful Elite," published in 2020, where he explores the interactions of Epstein with various high-profile individuals.

Princess Madeleine has yet to publicly respond to these serious allegations, which brings forth discussions regarding the inappropriate attention and obsession exhibited by influential figures towards royal personalities. Additionally, this story prompts a reevaluation of the ways in which personal relationships intersect with the lives of public figures, particularly when it involves individuals with controversial pasts like Epstein.
