Norway's Princess Märtha Louise to wed US Shaman Durek amid controversy and declining royal support
Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett attend the celebrations of Princess Ingrid Alexandra's Official Day at Deichman Museum on 16 June 2022 in Oslo, Norway.
Märtha Louise, a 52-year-old divorcee, claims to be a clairvoyant who can speak with angels, a gift she has shared - and profited from - in books and courses. The pair will tie the knot at a hotel in the hills of Geiranger, a picturesque village on the shores of a fjord on Norway's west coast. The couple's eccentricity has ruffled feathers in no-nonsense Norway, as has their disregard for science and their use of their royal ties for commercial gain.She has however violated the agreement several times since then, most recently when she and Verrett released a"wedding gin" for sale in Norway that bore her princess title on the label.
She is fourth in line to the Norwegian throne; her younger brother Crown Prince Haakon is due one day to succeed King Harald.Märtha Louise and Verrett have contributed to an erosion of public support for the monarchy, from 81 percent in 2017 to 68 percent, a poll by public broadcaster NRK showed this week.
In one of his books, he suggested that cancer was a choice, and recommended exercises to remove"imprints" from women's vaginas left by previous sexual partners.While Verrett has acknowledged his beliefs may be unsettling for some, he claims he is a victim of racism - echoing fellow African American Meghan Markle's complaints after she joined Britain's royal family.
