Princess Märtha Louise Marries Durek Verrett

Princess Märtha Louise of Norway, 52, married American self-styled shaman Durek Verrett, 49, in a private ceremony by the Geiranger Fjord, attended by 350 guests including royals and celebrities. The couple, known for their controversial alternative spiritual practices, sold exclusive photo rights to Hello! magazine and film rights to Netflix, sparking backlash from local media. Märtha Louise, who has faced criticism for using her royal ties for commercial gain, stepped down from official duties in 2022 to focus on her business ventures. Both the bride and groom have been scrutinized for their unconventional beliefs, with Verrett claiming to communicate with spirits and Märtha Louise asserting she can talk to angels. The wedding festivities spanned three days and included a ban on phones and social media posts by attendees.
