Royal Family news: Norwegian Princess Martha Louise to tie knot with celebrity shaman | Royal | News | Express.co.uk
Norway’s Princess Martha Louise, the eldest child of King Harald and Queen Sonja, has announced her wedding plans with self-proclaimed shaman Durek Verrett, a Hollywood spiritual guru. The wedding is scheduled for August 31, 2024, in Geiranger, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southwestern Norway. However, their romance has sparked controversy in Norway due to Verrett’s unconventional beliefs and alternative medicine practices, leading to him being labeled a “quack.”
Verrett, an African-American who calls himself a “sixth-generation shaman,” has faced criticism for his statements, including suggesting cancer is a choice and promoting unusual exercises for women. Despite the backlash, the royal family, including King Harald, Queen Sonja, and Crown Prince Haakon, have congratulated the couple and welcomed Verrett into the family.
Martha Louise, fourth in line for the throne, has also courted controversy for her involvement in alternative therapies and claims of communicating with angels. In 2022, she relinquished her royal duties to focus on her alternative medicine business with Verrett. Her previous marriage to writer Ari Behn, who tragically took his own life in 2019, added to her tumultuous public profile.
The wedding announcement has stirred debate in Norway, highlighting the clash between tradition and unconventional beliefs within the royal family.
