Princess Martha Louise of Norway Sets Wedding Date with American Shaman Durek Verrett

Norway's Princess Martha Louise is all set to tie the knot with American shaman Durek Verrett, announcing the wedding date with excitement. The royal engagement, which began in June last year, promises a unique blend of tradition and spirituality.

A Magical Wedding in the Making

Princess Martha Louise shared the joyous news, revealing that their wedding will take place on August 31, 2024, at the historic Hotell Union in Geiranger. It's a picturesque location that holds significance for the couple. They expressed their happiness in being able to celebrate their love amidst Geiranger's stunning natural beauty and rich historical backdrop.

From Princess and Shaman to the Altar

Martha Louise and Verrett have embarked on numerous speaking tours together, notably the "The Princess and the Shaman" series. During these engagements, they openly discussed their unconventional approaches to alternative medicine and spiritual practices.

Controversy Surrounding Verrett

While their love story unfolds, Durek Verrett has faced growing controversy in Norwegian society due to his unconventional health claims. These claims include his assertion that his magical amulet can heal, that cancer is a choice made by the body, and even some eyebrow-raising statements about casual sex.

A Step Back from Royal Responsibilities

Princess Martha Louise's journey hasn't been without challenges. In a bid to maintain clarity between their activities and the Royal House of Norway, she decided to step down from her working royal role. This move was initiated by her father, King Harald V, to create distance between her speaking engagements and business ventures and the royal family.

A Supportive Royal Welcome

Despite the controversy, King Harald V has expressed his support for the couple, stating that the royals are "delighted to welcome" Durek Verrett into their fold.

Marriage and Healing

Prior to her engagement to Verrett, Princess Martha Louise was married to Norwegian writer Ari Behn, with whom she shared three children. Sadly, Behn passed away on Christmas Day in 2019, leaving a legacy of intense depression and alcoholism. In response to this tragedy, Verrett expressed his deep condolences and chose not to comment further out of respect for the children.
