Norwegian Princess To Marry American Shaman Amid Controversy

Norway's Princess Martha Louise and her fiance Durek Verrett arrive at the government's party event in connection with Princess Ingrid Alexandra's 18th birthday, which is held at Deichman Bjoer

The Norwegian king’s eldest child, Princess Märtha Louise, is set to marry American self-professed shaman Durek Verret in southern Norway this Saturday. The couple's upcoming wedding has stirred controversy amidst criticism and diminishing support for the Scandinavian royals. Märtha Louise, who is fourth in line to the Norwegian throne, announced in 2022 that she would no longer officially represent the royal house to be closer to her American fiancé.

Princess Märtha Louise, known for her belief in communicating with angels, will wed Verret, who claims to be a sixth-generation shaman from California. The couple has faced scrutiny for their alternative beliefs and unconventional actions. Despite being engaged in 2022, Verret will not hold any royal titles or official duties post-marriage.
